About Dalalism by Dalal Farah Baird

"Creating a piece of art is not unlike meditation for me. I feel relaxed and I get lost in the moment. I usually start with an idea and hardly with a sketch. I let the brush move freely over the canvas to communicate my emotions. The end result surprises me sometimes." Artist Bio Dalal Farah Baird (Dalalism) is a self taught artist who gets inspired by the cells seen under an electron microscope or as she puts it "the cells from an artist unique perspective" or "art and science dancing in harmony". She lived and worked in many countries (the last being Sydney, Australia), but her love for Lebanon and her fascination with the Middle Eastern culture, however made her uproot and return to Lebanon in January 2010. She dedicated 2 of her solo exhibitions "Cell-ebration" and "Cell-ebrating Resilience" to her youngest daughter Nadia who passed away in 2011. To Dalal her daughter's 23 years on this earth were worth celebrating and she decided to take up painting on a full time basis to channel her energy and emotions through art. To her, we are first spirit that takes the shape of a body and once we fully understand and accept this truth, our outlook on life changes dramatically.
