Born in Ramat Hasharon in 1987, Danino is a poet and multidisciplinary artist with both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. He works in a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, performance, video and writing, and his work delves into the worlds of Jewish Kabbalah, psychoanalysis, homosexuality, the body and trauma. Danino’s book of poems, Everything Dear Falls (edited by Anat Zacharia, Hava La’or Publishing), was published in 2022.

The foundation of Danino’s work is the Hebrew language; he explores the tension created between Hebrew text and plastic art in moments of trauma, when shock and silence is imposed on language. His creations deal with the potential inherent in such moments of rupture, in which language can be recreated and expanded through imagery.



In his performance art, Danino creates domestic, everyday spaces in which the usually-nude bodies of himself and others rest in casual poses. These works, which emerge from the physical bodily experience, are motivated by examining the tension between text and the naked figure, which contains and displays a multitude of life experiences.

In Danino’s paintings, he hand-weaves rubber strips using traditional weaving techniques, and produces surfaces that resonate with both the aesthetics and textures of medical bandages. Danino covers these surfaces with coarse, expressive gestures and excessive touches of paint. His paintings are an abstraction of a physical wound. 

Danino’s drawings are characterized by consecutive sequences of Hebrew letters which create an abstract and illegible aesthetic-textual surface. In these drawings, Danino examines the modes of representation of the Hebrew language, and the moment in which it ceases to convey information and becomes a mute, indecipherable visual plane.
