Born, 1982, Israel.
Dana began her artistic training in a college in the northern part of israel. after graduating in 2007 she traveled to Norway to study with Odd Nerdrum.
In 2009 she moved to Italy and began the 3 years drawing and painting program at the florence academy of art. She graduated in 2012.
Dana has thus been developing her style in relation to art history and contemporary trands.
The paintings feature transparent brushwork seems to be huvering over the canvas alongside crisp rendering of objects. One can almost feel the cold metal or the rough surface of the leaves she depicts, as Dana studies the limitations and lies in reflecting realities.
Currently Dana lives and paints in Israel. She represented by Zemack contemporary art gallery. Her work can be found in privet collection around the world.
