As for most people in the autism spectrum, Danial Kushairi has trouble communicating and understanding what other people think and feel. Now at the age of 20, his verbal communication is still limited and it is a challenge for him to comprehend complex instruction.

In 2021, his painting “The Three Women Carrying Basket" was selected to participate in the exhibitions “ArtWorks Together Virtual Exhibition", United Kingdom and “Qingdao International Contemporary Art Exhibition", Qingdao, China. In the same year, Danial’s painting “Intrigue I" was selected to participate in the exhibition “2021 Paraart Tokyo", Tokyo, Japan. He is also one of the 10 special needs artists that are selected to participate in an upcoming exhibition in Turin, Italy in April 2023.

In 2021 and 2022, Danial Kushairi co-authored and illustrated 2 children story books, "Mr. Turtle to the Rescue, (2021)" and "Ben Saves the Day, (2022)". The story books were based on his interpretation of his original paintings "The Ocean Turtle" and "The Ocean Fish", respectively.

“A Walk in the Park" is Danial Kushairi’s 1st solo exhibition. It is inspired by his natural surroundings; gardens, flowers, plants and animals.
