About me
Born and bred in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dalila is a multi-disciplinary artist who studied Architecture, has a BA majoring in History of Art as well as a diploma in Interiors. Although she has a formal design and art appreciation background, she is largely self-taught (although she does take the occasional workshop to develop new ways of thinking). She is known for her colourful, textured and layered mixed media works using mainly watermedia. She considers herself primarily an experimental artist in that the process of producing art is as important as the emotions or the subject that inspires it!
She has participated in over 50 exhibitions, has won various International and local awards and been featured in five issues of the South African Artist’s Magazine. Her work has graced the covers of two books and she has participated in International exhibitions. Her work forms part of corporate and private collections both locally and abroad, as well as part of the permanent collection of the Worker’s Museum in the Newtown Precinct in Johannesburg.
