Dalia Elcharbini

Dalia Elcharbini is a Palestinian-Canadian contemporary artist. Her work has been collected internationally, gracing galleries and permanent collections across Canada, the US and the Middle East. She views her art as a visual journal and an outlet to document her feelings and experiences as a Palestinian artist living in diaspora. She’s inspired by the cosmos, her heritage and philosophies like Taoism —advocating alignment with nature and the nurturing of a louder intuition. Dalia’s work transcends mere visual aesthetics - it aims to awaken a heightened sense of awareness, inviting contemplation and introspection and elevating the viewer into a higher state of consciousness. Her primary mediums include oil, graphite and gold leaf. Dalia employs a meticulous approach to her craft with the most premeditated aspect of her creative process is the study of light and its interplay with her compositions. This thoughtful examination of light and its role in the work is what gives her works a whimsical feel when experienced in person. A big passion project of hers is her non-profit Our Stars School Foundation, a Canadian non-profit aiming to help children cope with war induced trauma, grief and disability through art therapy.
