He has designed and sculpted monuments in stone, marble and bronze- for cities, museums and individuals in Israel and worldwide.

The works are presented in various collections around the world such as: Belz Museum of Judaic Art, Memphis, Tennessee. Davidson and Hermelin collection, Detroit, Michigan. Chaltiel collection, Las Vegas, Nevada. S.K. collection, Moscow, Russia. High profile public sites in Israel have made Daniel Kafri truly a national artist.
