Daniel Egnéus is a Swedish artist who has spent 20 years in Prague, London, Berlin, Bologna, Rome, and Milano and has now made the city of Athens  his base.

Egnéus decided to depict Athens as a reaction to the city often being depicted in foreign press in a negative manner.

"In foreign magazines you see … empty streets with abandoned houses, a total cliché. These images represent my daily surroundings, which I find both beautiful and interesting. I have a studio in the center and every morning I come from the metro at Monastiraki walking up Athinas Street towards it. These pictures are from places I see everyday, Monastiraki, Pittaki Street, Athinas Street, Plateia Agias Eirinis, The market in Athinas and Omonia, when I take the metro home I jump of at Evangelismos and walk up Marasli in Kolonaki where I live. So it’s a pretty simple idea, it’s a one hour walk in Athens if you work in the center and use the metro to return home in the evening."
