dahlia (dalia graželė)
Dahlia’s works reveal a unique visuality and its distinctive construction that comes from her vision and perception of the world. Constant search for matching elements are based on mild contrast principles through texture, color, unexpected graphic or natural elements.
Photographs reflect a search for a clear visual divide and maintain an unexpected strict but floating structure. The diverse selection of theme exposes Dahlia as a collector who looks for fresh and unique relationships between an object and an image. Discovery of a particular theme and its fixation encourages the artist to also discover and follow other associated objects – in this way creative series that appear to be very different are connected by implicit similarities. Watchful and aesthetic works of Dahlia is a result of the self-reflective sensual world of the artist.
