蒂美崔•丹尼士1966年出生于烏克蘭。他天生就是畫家，自他會(huì)說話走路前就開始拿畫筆了。他的母親也是個(gè)畫家，第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)了他繪畫的天分。她發(fā)現(xiàn)兒子通過畫圖來表達(dá)想法和感情，于是母親用顏色和形狀來跟他兒子交流。畫畫對(duì)蒂美崔來說就如同吃飯睡覺那么自然。

    五歲時(shí)，丹尼士就開始了他第一堂繪畫課，他已經(jīng)能畫風(fēng)景，肖像，靜物和抽象的東西。十三歲他進(jìn)入了當(dāng)?shù)氐奶觳派倌陮W(xué)校，十五歲就進(jìn)入了克翰基州立藝術(shù)大學(xué)。

 

    丹尼士最喜歡的對(duì)象是城市景觀。他畫那些從書上讀到的，廣播里，人們談話中聽到的，以及郵票上的城市風(fēng)景。他畫出在心中構(gòu)想的城市以及其中的街道，運(yùn)河，門和窗。丹尼士最喜歡畫門和窗，因?yàn)樗麄冇蟹?hào)意義。透過門和窗他可以看到現(xiàn)實(shí)中不存在的世界。他憑想象力就可以去到那夢中的世界。

    大學(xué)時(shí)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(gè)溫暖可愛的地方。

 

    1986年，丹尼士從大學(xué)畢業(yè)了，開始教畫畫。他馬上意識(shí)到教書并不是他理想的事業(yè)-他想通過繪畫來表達(dá)自己，而不是教別人畫。他到部隊(duì)當(dāng)了3年兵，當(dāng)他回來后，馬上就進(jìn)入了克翰基理工大學(xué)的油畫系，開始以畫為生。

    兩年后他成為了烏克蘭權(quán)威藝術(shù)協(xié)會(huì)的一員，他的畫供不應(yīng)求。他的職業(yè)繪畫生涯開始了，并且開始在烏克蘭，俄羅斯，和其他東歐國家展出。

    2000年時(shí)，克翰基州立美術(shù)館為丹尼士的“城市和山川”舉辦了獨(dú)展，并買下了他的三幅畫作為永久收藏。

    2000-2001年，新澤西美術(shù)館也買了他的三幅畫。2003年，烏克蘭政府買了他的一幅畫，送給了美國駐烏克蘭大使。

    從俄羅斯邊境開放后，丹尼士去了歐洲很多他小時(shí)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(huì)去美國東西海岸進(jìn)行個(gè)人獨(dú)立展覽。

    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.
