"My present is intertwined with the stories that my parents and grandparents used to tell me about their childhoods in Palestine, the simple games they used to play at their doorsteps and the pleasure of walking in the shade of the olive trees and through the alleyways. Trying to reconnect with that part of my history, and looking at photos of Palestine, I reconstruct what I saw of the breathtaking landscape and the unique architecture of domes, minarets, steeples into paintings which exude a scent of Palestine." (Dalia Ali)

Dalia Ali born in 1971 in Kuwait is a Palestinian contemporary Impressionist Artist. She graduated from MIT in the USA with a Bachelor of Science in Art and Design and a Masters in Architecture. She participated in various group and solo exhibitions in Amman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Connecticut and Virginia.

Her subjects vary between figures and forms but her sense of expression is constant. She enjoys experimenting with texture and with layering acrylic and oil colors on different surfaces. In her art she strives to minimize detail and to ‘abstractize’ her surrounding world whilst maintaining meaning and content in its most attractive form.
