Founder of XingXang, Danny Lopes is a Luso-American entrepreneur, abstract expressionist, actor and film producer. He was born in Livingston, New Jersey and raised in the neighboring town of Kenilworth, where he started his acting career at the age of 8 years old. Progressing from grammar school plays and commercial auditions, he landed the lead role of "Bobby" in Dante Tomaselli's film Desecration in 1999 at the age of 15. Director Dante Tomaselli cast Danny for his second feature film, Horror in 2003 which also stars Kreskin.
After graduating from Roselle Catholic in New Jersey, Lopes moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting degree. He earned his acting certificate from the New York Film Academy while continuing to work with Dante Tomaselli on his film, Satan's Playground with Ellen Sandweiss, Edwin Neill and Felissa Rose. Danny's acting skills have matured over the years and his passion for film production has grown along with his career.
Danny Lopes continues to expand his career into multiple facets of the entertainment and art worlds by expanding into the music industry and founding XingXang Studios in Hollywood, California. XingXang produces and showcases his abstract artwork which he creates from a place of visceral fortitude, inclusive of physical and digital pieces, large scale paintings, prints as well as clothing. He paints possibility and exploration, his mixed media creations set an experiential platform. Born out of life at its fullest, his color immersions and compilations touch chance and dance with possibility. Danny sees the world and its beings as boundless and his pieces speak to the infinite possibilities in all that is and could be.
Lopes is inspired by the works of legendary icons Pollack, Dali and his cousin, Portuguese surreal artist, Dina Lopes. The streets of New York, Miami, LA and Lisbon often contribute to Danny's inspiration and creations for his pieces, which each carry their own unique tone. The stories of his art are subjective and ever changing, innovating from a place of pride and promise. Having lived his dreams and enduring melee as an artist, entertainer, visionary and entrepreneur, his collective works are the stuff of stars. They are ageless, timeless and immutable, much like Danny himself.
Danny Lopes continues to expand into multiple facets of the entertainment and art worlds while expanding his portfolio with roles in television series such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Dante Tomaselli's upcoming remake of the hit film Alice, Sweet Alice created by Alfred Sole.
