蒂美崔·丹尼士

蒂美崔·丹尼士1966年出生於烏克蘭，是烏克蘭著名畫家。2000年時，克翰基州立美術館為蒂美崔·丹尼士的“城市和山川”舉辦了獨展，並買下了蒂美崔·丹尼士的三幅畫作為永久收藏。2000-2001年，新澤西美術館也買了蒂美崔·丹尼士的三幅畫。2003年，烏克蘭政府買了蒂美崔·丹尼士的一幅畫，送給了美國駐烏克蘭大使。

五歲時，丹尼士就開始了他第一堂繪畫課，他已經能畫風景，肖像，靜物和抽象的東西。十三歲他進入了當地的天才少年學校，十五歲就進入了克翰基州立藝術大學。
丹尼士最喜歡的對象是城市景觀。他畫那些從書上讀到的，廣播裡，人們談話中聽到的，以及郵票上的城市風景。他畫出在心中構想的城市以及其中的街道，運河，門和窗。丹尼士最喜歡畫門和窗，因為他們有符號意義。透過門和窗他可以看到現實中不存在的世界。他憑想像力就可以去到那夢中的世界。
大學時期，他迷上了自己出生長大的城市。他畫了很多不同樓房，木屋，大樹下的小咖啡屋，同樣也有南方城市的門和窗。在他的畫中克翰基是一個溫暖可愛的地方。
1986年，丹尼士從大學畢業了，開始教畫畫。他馬上意識到教書並不是他理想的事業-他想通過繪畫來表達自己，而不是教別人畫。他到部隊當了3年兵，當他回來後，馬上就進入了克翰基理工大學的油畫系，開始以畫為生。
兩年後他成為了烏克蘭權威藝術協會的一員，他的畫供不應求。他的職業繪畫生涯開始了，並且開始在烏克蘭，俄羅斯，和其他東歐國家展出。

從俄羅斯邊境開放後，丹尼士去了歐洲很多他小時候就夢想的城市。他到了羅馬，威尼斯，錫耶納，法國的很多城市，荷蘭，匈牙利，奧地利，希臘和土耳其。2005年他也會去美國東西海岸進行個人獨立展覽。

DmitriDanish
DmitriDanish was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1966. he was a natural artistfrom the start, taking his first drawing pencil in hand before he wasable to walk or talk. His mother, an artist herself, was the first todiscover Dmitri's talent. She saw that he expressed his thoughts,feelings and desires through his creations, and she startedcommunicating with her son via color and shape. Painting became asnatural for Danish as breathing, eating, or sleeping.
By age5, Danish was taking his first professional painting lessons; he wasalready able to paint quality landscapes, portraits, still life's andabstract paintings. At age 13 he was accepted into a giftedchildren's art school in Kharkiv, and by age 15 he was enrolled atthe Kharkiv State Art College (1982).
Danish's most favoritegenre 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 newcountries in his mind and painted their cities, streets, canals,doors and windows. Danish liked painting doors and windows most ofall because of their symbolic appeal. They let him view and enterinto unknown worlds, which he couldn't do in reality. His imaginationwas able to take him to those unusual and magical worlds that he sawin his dreams.
In college Danish became fascinated withKharkiv, the city where he was born and raised. He painted variousbuildings, wooden houses and walls, small coffee shops under huge oldtrees, and again, doors and windows from his Southern city. Hispaintings portrayed Kharkiv as a warm and cozy place to live.
In1986 Danish graduated from college and began to teach art. He quicklyrealized that teaching art was not his ideal career - he wanted toexpress himself through art, not teach others. Danish went into thearmy for three years and as soon as he returned, he immediatelyentered into the department of Fine Art at the Kharkiv StatesPolytechnic University. He began to paint for a living.
Aftertwo years he became a member of the prestigious Union of UkrainianArtists and his paintings were in much demand. His career of a fineartist took off and he began to exhibit in Ukraine, Russia and otherEastern European countries.
In the year 2000 the Kharkiv StateMuseum of Fine Art conducted a solo exhibition of Danish's workscalled "Cities and Mountains" and purchased three of hispaintings that are part of their permanent collection. During2000-2001, the New Jersey Museum of Modern Art also purchased threeof Danish's works. And, in 2003 the Ukrainian government purchased apainting and presented it to the outgoing ambassador of the UnitedStates to Ukraine.
Danish has traveled most of Europe sincethe opening of the Russian borders visiting cities and countries hedreamed about as a child. He has spent time in Rome, Venice, Sienna,and in many cities of France, Holland, Hungary, Austria, Greece, andTurkey. He will make his first trip to the United States in 2005 forseveral one-man shows on both the East and West Coasts.
