Daniel Pielucha (born 22 May 1959 in Wieluń) is a Polish painter, representative of contemporary Surrealism and Symbolism. His creative output is reffered to as "Nadrealizm Polski" ("Polish Surrealism"). In his artwork, he combines the acquis of Polish traditional painting with surreal themes based on folk beliefs and customs, historical motifs and ancient mythology. The outgoing natural landscape of the Polish countryside is the most frequent scenery of his artistic visions.

Pielucha holds a degree of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, which he obtained in 1985, at the Faculty of Graphic Art in Katowice. Beside numerous individual and collective exhibitions at home, he has presented his artwork at international art events in Astana, Berlin, Istanbul, Mexico City, New York and Stockholm. In 2018, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland awarded him the Decoration of Honour "Meritorious for Polish Culture".
