Danijel Jaman is an artist who represents a new direction called "New Pop Art".

He was born in 1975 in Split, Croatia, where he graduated from the Academy of Arts in Split, where he was awarded the Dean's Award as one of the best students.

His paintings reflect a distinct recognition and characteristics of the style, and as the most prominent we can single out:

1. Extremely bright colors in large color ranges and contrasts.

2. Almost all paintings are painted beyond the frame and thus create an additional 3D illusion in the space.

3. Almost all paintings include the BANANA motif as the author's signature. Banana is a kind of self-portrait where the author humorously becomes a participant in the painting and in this way gives a review, critique of the main idea of ​​the painting.

Jaman combines traditional painting with real three-dimensional objects, integrating them into the composition. His works include elements such as license plates, vinyl records, paintbrushes, chess pieces, telephones, mobile phones, coins and Swarovski crystals.

In the series “New York,” “Charlie,” “I Love You Too,” and “Bang Bang,” he advanced his experimentation by incorporating LED lighting, creating new color gradations, depth, and dynamic interaction with space.

In his most recent body of work, Jaman returns to his roots by transforming graffiti art and street culture. Graffiti becomes the background layer, while the foreground narrative — filled with humor and irony — reveals raw human drives such as ambition, greed, and obsession with success. Works such as “Ice Cream Billionaires,” “Flamingo Love,” “Bad Ass Mickey,” and “All the President’s People” are prime examples of this evolution.

In this latest cycle, Jaman further enhances the compositions by introducing fluorescent pigments combined with UV lighting. This gives the graffiti background a 3D character and rich texture, while the colors become vivid, vibrant, and dynamic, making the painting appear almost as a living object within the space.

Jaman’s artworks invite viewers to play, smile, and rediscover the joy of color, while simultaneously encouraging reflection on fundamental human values.

Because of his distinctive aesthetic, his works have become an inspiration in interior design and are part of numerous private collections worldwide.
