Dafni Milan

Potential, Abstract Painting

2023

Artist Comments
A pink peony stands out against a black square, surrounded by pastel colors and abstract forms. Checkerboard patterns and dynamic brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and contrast. Artist Dafni Milan used acrylic and oil paint to create this piece. She began with mismatched shapes, and only when she added the flower did everything come together. It demonstrates how growth can often occur unexpectedly and "out of the box."

About the Artist

Growing up in a family of artists and attending the art school her parents founded, Dafni developed her artistic talents from a young age.

Outside the studio, Dafni leads an active lifestyle, enjoying horse riding, spending time with her dogs, and exploring the outdoors.
