Dafni Milan
Queen Creek, Arizona
Artist Dafni Milan creates mixed-media paintings that embody her passion for freedom and individuality. “My artwork has a lot of symbolism and personal meaning,” says Dafni. She believes in staying true to oneself, even if it means challenging societal norms, a belief that is deeply reflected in her work. Growing up in a family of artists and attending the art school her parents founded, Dafni developed her artistic talents from a young age. Now residing in Arizona with her husband, she paints in a well-lit bedroom she calls her sanctuary. Outside the studio, Dafni leads an active lifestyle, enjoying horse riding, spending time with her dogs, and exploring the outdoors.
Artist Statement
I am passionate about experiencing freedom. I strongly believe in individualism and staying true to myself, even if it means going against societal norms. I incorporate this in my art through wild and expressive mixed media and oil painting techniques. My art displays both peace and chaos and the freedom that comes with that balance.
I begin with an abstract background, following my intuition to create something new and fresh in the moment. I then digitally combine images to develop the composition, layering patterns, and marks as inspiration strikes. My process involves using acrylics, markers, pastels, wax crayons, charcoal, and pencils, with oil paint added last for refinement.
