Dana Gerlitz

Dana Gerlitz is an artist, illustrator, and animator whose work focuses on the human figure and the body in motion as a space for emotional expression. Drawing from imagination and personal experience, she creates figures that move between states of vulnerability, tension, and searching, seeking to capture inner moments that are difficult to define in words. Her work combines elements of realism with more expressive gestures, constructed through line, color, and bodily movement that carry the narrative forward. Her artistic process is grounded in an exploration of movement and sensation, aiming to create an open space in which the viewer can enter, interpret, and emotionally engage. She studied art and animation at Tiltan College of Design and Visual Communication and at IAC- The Israeli Animation College, alongside private studies with various artists and self-directed learning. Alongside her personal practice, she teaches drawing and continues to refine and deepen her artistic language.
