Born in 1972 in Sweden, Daniel Egneus is a highly regarded illustrator and artist who has established a prominent career through a distinctive, self taught approach, having received no formal education in the fine arts. Although born in Sweden, Egneus is a noted artist within Greece, having made Athens his base after living in several European cities including Prague, London, Berlin, Bologna, Rome, and Milano. He has become a regular collaborator with institutions in Greece, such as the National Theatre, and has produced extensive work portraying the city of Athens. His work is characterized as a "Quotidiano Straordinario" style, which translates everyday life into vivid, dreamlike, and often melancholic imagery.

His career began without formal training, with the artist citing "life itself" as his only education. Egneus gained significant recognition when he was voted Best Illustrator by the Association of Illustrators in the UK in 2005. His diverse portfolio includes major commercial collaborations with brands like BMW, Haagen Dasz, Chanel, and Pepsi Cola, alongside extensive editorial work for publications such as Marie Claire and Time Magazine. A major highlight of his career is his work on the Neil Gaiman American Gods Quartet, contributing over 140 illustrations. In addition to publishing numerous illustrated books, including children stories recognized by The Guardian, Egneus works with various media including watercolor, ink, and acrylic to produce work that is both intimate and deeply detailed.
