Dalia Ali

I am a Jordan-based artist. My passion for art started at an early stage and my years in Boston exposed me to the guidance and work of many international artists. Regionally, I have participated in group and solo exhibitions in Amman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Jerusalem and Ramallah.

Although my subjects may vary between figures and built form, the sense of expression is constant. My medium of choice is acrylic which I enjoy experimenting with on different surfaces, layering colors and textures to enrich the painting. I am continuously striving to minimize detail and ‘abstractize’ the world around me whilst maintaining meaning and content in its most attractive form.
