Daphna Wysokier Dishi

Painter, Moshav Talmey-Yosef, Israel

See her work on her Instagram page and website.

“My art focuses primarily on the  continuous exploration of the internal state. I aim to give visual expression to the connection between pain and growth, by creating images and textures that are emotionally expressive, and touch on both suffering and enlightenment.

My preferred medium is acrylic paint, which I use in several different ways: layered, scratched, spilled, sponged etc., in order to combine both the abstract with the figurative form.

My choice of color is inspired by the stark, natural landscape of the Israeli Negev desert, where I spent my childhood, and where I now live and paint. “
