Daria-Abihail Basina

I am a 20-year-old artist with over seven years of experience in drawing. My main focus is the human figure — not just as anatomy, but as a vessel for emotion, ritual, and myth. I often draw inspiration from Sumerian mythology, Biblical stories, and the quiet intensity of sacred imagery.

Through graphite and paper, I explore inner silence, melancholy, and transformation. My characters often exist between worlds — between the divine and the human, between memory and vision. Each piece is a form of contemplation, where I try to capture that still, fragile moment after prayer or revelation.

I work primarily in traditional media, favoring the raw texture of graphite and the subtle atmosphere it creates. My goal is to build a visual language that feels both ancient and deeply personal — a bridge between myth and emotion.
