Dana Nechmad is an interdisciplinary artist working with painting, drawing, embroidery and video. She aims to decipher the physical, psychological and philosophical construct which is the human body.
Nechmad holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a BFA from the Libera Academia di belle Arti, Florence, and an MA in Philosophy from the Tel Aviv University.
Her work can be found in the Dubi Shiff Art collection, LunArt Collection, Joan Flasch artist book Collection,Rappaport Family collection and more. She is the recipient of the Earl and Brenda Shapiro Center for Research and Collaboration grant (2018), New American Painting #131 (2017) and the New Artist Society Merit Scholarship (2016-18).
Nechmad's work is deeply personal and informed by the ambiguity and drama at the raw core of human experience. Her figures are stripped of any cultural identifiers and placed in a colorful void, reflecting the un-natural environment of contemporary life and the emotional spectrum between demons and angels. For Nechmad, art is a way to connect to the world through active contemplation.
