Danny Scherman was born in Buenos Aires and from an early age found in drawing and painting a territory of his own. He studied at the National School of Fine Arts “Rogelio Yrurtia” and at the Antonio Berni School of Visual Arts, where he earned degrees as a Professor of Painting and Printmaking. With a five-year scholarship at Osvaldo Jalil’s studio, he delved into woodcut and ex libris, disciplines that shaped his initial explorations.
His practice has moved across multiple languages: illustration, muralism, stage design, heritage restoration, and live performance. He has participated in more than forty group exhibitions and competitions, both in Argentina and abroad, and has drawn at festivals where the artistic gesture becomes a shared experience.
He currently explores two main directions: painting with oil pastels over an acrylic base, where imagery linked to rock formations and human figures emerges; and an ongoing body of work based on the assemblage of urban materials —masonry, tiles, fragments of construction— intervened with paint. In both lines, the focus lies on surface, matter, and its capacity for transformation, whether drawn from geological memory or from the reuse of fragments that abound in the city.
Alongside his personal production, Scherman develops projects in the field of art education, understanding teaching as a space of experimentation and transmission that enriches his own practice.
