"Art is our one true global
language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it
acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal,
heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and
lets us imagine what is possible."
— Richard Kamler |

Dmitri Danish
Biography
Dmitri Danish was born in
Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1966. He was a natural artist from the
start, taking his first drawing pencil in hand before he was
able to walk or talk. His mother, an artist herself, was the
first to discover Dmitri's talent. She saw that he expressed his
thoughts, feelings and desires through his creations, and she
started communicating with her son via color and shape. Painting
became as natural for Danish as breathing, eating, or sleeping.
By age 5, Danish was taking his first professional painting
lessons; he was already able to paint quality landscapes,
portraits, still life's and abstract paintings. At age 13 he was
accepted into a gifted children's art school in Kharkiv, and by
age 15 he was enrolled at the Kharkiv State Art College (1982).
Danish's most favorite genre was cityscapes. He painted cities
that he read about in books, cities that he heard about on the
radio or in people's conversations, and cities that he saw
printed on postage stamps. He created new countries in his mind
and painted their cities, streets, canals, doors and windows.
Danish liked painting doors and windows most of all because of
their symbolic appeal. They let him view and enter into unknown
worlds, which he couldn't do in reality. His imagination was
able to take him to those unusual and magical worlds that he saw
in his dreams.
In college Danish became fascinated with Kharkiv, the city where
he was born and raised. He painted various buildings, wooden
houses and walls, small coffee shops under huge old trees, and
again, doors and windows from his Southern city. His paintings
portrayed Kharkiv as a warm and cozy place to live.
In 1986 Danish graduated from college and began to teach art. He
quickly realized that teaching art was not his ideal career - he
wanted to express himself through art, not teach others. Danish
went into the army for three years and as soon as he returned,
he immediately entered into the department of Fine Art at the
Kharkiv States Polytechnic University. He began to paint for a
living.
After two years he became a member of the prestigious Union of
Ukrainian Artists and his paintings were in much demand. His
career of a fine artist took off and he began to exhibit in
Ukraine, Russia and other Eastern European countries.
In the year 2000 the Kharkiv State Museum of Fine Art conducted
a solo exhibition of Danish's works called "Cities and
Mountains" and purchased three of his paintings that are part of
their permanent collection. During 2000-2001, the New Jersey
Museum of Modern Art also purchased three of Danish's works.
And, in 2003 the Ukrainian government purchased a painting and
presented it to the outgoing ambassador of the United States to
Ukraine.
Danish has traveled most of Europe since the opening of the
Russian borders visiting cities and countries he dreamed about
as a child. He has spent time in Rome, Venice, Sienna, and in
many cities of France, Holland, Hungary, Austria, Greece, and
Turkey. He will make his first trip to the United States in 2005
for several one-man shows on both the East and West Coasts.
