Echoes on Canvas Book Cover

Prayer for the Future



One stormy plein air day, I learned to paint through chaos—each stroke a fight, each canvas a triumph. That grit shapes my art, waiting for you to discover. Step into my vibrant world of painting.

“Daryl Urig’s paintings capture raw emotion and texture—a must for any collector.”

About My Process

My paintings evolve through years of bold experimentation, each canvas a playground of vibrant energy. Every mark—whether a knife’s thick stroke, a brush’s soft edge, or a fingertip’s touch—brings color and form to life, inviting you into a vivid, three-dimensional world.

Gullah: Prisoner of Land Developers

Gullah: Prisoner of Land Developers

Some stories are simply tragic. She battled all her life, as if destiny had it out for her. Painting every muscle and bone, I could sense the complexity of her journey. The features spoke volumes. Some individuals, even land developers, covet what isn’t rightfully theirs. Farewell, Josephine Wright. Though we never truly crossed paths, you possessed the grace to endure… Allow me to expound on the painting’s symbolism and the intricate narrative it portrays: Her scars and visible fractures depict the hardships she endured. The orange fence represents Josephine’s confinement. The withered plant in the foreground symbolizes her passing. The hand grasping the post signifies her triumphant spirit, akin to Moses leading his followers through the Red Sea. Finally, the yellow flower represents hope and the cycle of life arising from the ashes of death.
