Dotan Moreno
Dotan is an animation filmmaker, illustrator and visual artist living in Haifa. He graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem in 2009. Dotan’s work explores the intersections of Mizrahi-Sephardi Jewish spirituality, male sexuality, and modern conceptions of masculinity in Israeli society.
This series of prints and etchings draws upon representations of “blessing” in Judaism, exploring biblical imagery, traditional mystical beliefs, and facets of religious practice. The work also serves as a sociocultural commentary on male sexuality and interaction in a Mizrahi-Sephardi Israeli context.
