Olomouc 2004, 40 x 40 cm Danielle Davidson Painting

I'm a visual artist and filmmaker. I'm trained as an artist at Minerva Acadamie in Groningen and CCAC in San Francisco. I was awarded with the Dooyewaard stipend and a year’s stay in the Blaricum Artist in Residency programme. In 2008 I obtained my Master of Fine Arts at The Dutch Art Institute and I'm trained as an art teacher at the HKU in Utrecht. As a filmmaker, I directed the acclaimed documentary Make Jewish babies? This was broadcast a number of times on Dutch national TV by NPO and screened at numerous European film festivals. As an artist I'm fascinated by the concept of space; the natural space, the artificial space, the city, architecture and living spaces. Through the means of painting, drawing and video, I explore spaces in transformation and how individuals interact with their surroundings and with each other. Time is an important thing in this. As well in this painting. People have been there. Cross each other without meeting.
