A Romantic painter born in Belfast, Daniel O’Neill was largely self-
taught. He attended Belfast College of Art briefly but mainly studied
under Belfast artist Sidney Smith. Expressionist in style, his work is often
laden with pathos as he investigates the themes of love, life and death.
Associated with the artists Colin Middleton, Gerard Dillon and George
Campbell, he was buoyed up by their support and respect.
