Dalila demonstrated a portrait in mixed media. She showed techniques to stain, stamp and print paper and incorporate the use of inks, paint and ‘found’ objects including air hardened items to create the portrait.

Dalila is an award-winning artist and workshop facilitator as well as a graduate of various tertiary institutions with degrees and diplomas in Architecture, Interiors and Art History. 

In 2004 she resolved to turn her artistic passion into a professional endeavour. Since then, she has developed a unique style of combining paper, texture, text and other materials with paint to produce multi-layered artworks. 
She also regularly conducts workshops, assisting other artists to tap into their personal artistic philosophies.  Although experienced with most media, she counts oils and mixed media as her favourites.

She gravitates towards portraiture as subject matter but is equally adept at interpreting any other that inspires her, including abstraction and non-representational work!

She has participated in over 40 group exhibitions, been published in the South African Artist magazine various times and won several awards.  In 2020 one of her artworks was purchased by the City of Johannesburg to hang in the permanent exhibition at the Worker’s Museum in Newtown, Johannesburg.  Her works also form part of both corporate and private collections both locally and abroad.
