My Bio
|
Born in 1629 to poor, but dishonest, parents in Delft, Holland, Daniel Milberg began his artistic studies at an early age under the tutelage of the great Dutch master Jan Vermeer (1632-75). His paintings, however, were problematic (not to mention his drawings and etchings).
Vermeer was encouraging, but after watching Milberg struggle for several years tactfully suggested that he might want to try something more suited to his talents, such as necromancy. Milberg, always sensitive to criticism, was deeply hurt. The two apparently never spoke again.
Milberg had to wait almost 350 years for the perfection of the device that would allow him to express himself artistically: the personal computer. Introduced to computer graphics while an intern at a public television station, he never looked back.
In a remarkable parallel to Vermeer, he has enjoyed only slight recognition during his short life, and his work has often been forgotten or confused with that of others.
