Daniella Bella Candleshine

A multidisciplinary artist working in the space between drawing, video art, sculpture, and experimental material techniques. Graduated with honors from the Department of Fine Arts at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem (2020); participated in a student exchange program at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków (2019).

My body is a significant partner in the creative process. It appears in my works as an actor, an image, or a unit of measurement. As a raw material, it is available, flexible, passive, and inexpensive — and my ownership of it allows me freedom of action. I am developing a unique drawing language using clay, applied with a spatula. The drawing is created in motion, standing, by activating the entire body against the wall. In my work, I seek to return the body to the center of visual experience and to initiate a dialogue between material, movement, and presence.
