Born in Veracruz, México, Daniel Berman finished his Printmaking studies from the Univerisdad Veracruzana. Since 2008 Berman has been involved in projects and workshops related to drawing, printmaking, editing and painting. His work seeks to trigger reflections on the arts and communications while exploring ways of creating narratives with images, and the symbolic potentiality of visual language. Berman exhibited in Norway in 2019. The show which consolidated Berman’s search to expand his visual repertoire integrating tools and solutions from techniques that have been enriching his latest work in interesting ways. Within Berman lies a fixation on anthropomorphic figures as a receptacle to express the full range of emotions of the modern subject.

In his work, the cast of characters represented is highly varied, but there are certain beings that reappear throughout his work and adapt to different supports and scales. Though he appropriates contemporary pop figures, his work is underlyingly atavistic and primitive. Berman’s work work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in collections in New York, Mexico City, Tokyo, San Francisco, and London.
