Deomid Darii

My name is Deomid Darii [DARD], and I’m a 24-year-old artist based in the enchanting city of Strasbourg. While my roots trace back to Moscow, I was raised in the culturally rich embrace of Moldova before finding my way to Strasbourg in 2018.

In the summer of 2023, I took a leap of faith and participated in my first art exposition right here in Strasbourg. It was a transformative experience that validated my decision to pursue my artistic calling.

In my art, I specialize in creating characters and crafting imaginary worlds. My style is characterized by its naivety and simplicity, capturing the essence of storytelling with every stroke of my brush. Through my work, I aim to share the beauty I see in the world and the depths of human emotion that often remain hidden.

My path to art has been an intriguing one. Initially, I ventured into the world of engineering, after medicine and even worked as a physiotherapist for a year. However, life had other plans for me, and after experiencing a burnout, I uncovered a profound truth about myself – I am a highly sensitive person. This revelation became a turning point, propelling me toward a lifelong passion.
