ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I am Dasha Silkova, a new and emerging artist based in Oakville, Ontario, primarily working in acrylic and watercolor. My work celebrates the enchanting union between nature and fantasy. With aerial perspectives and vibrant color palettes, I strive to evoke a sense of lightness and whimsy, while inviting viewers to momentarily escape into a parallel universe governed by its own enchanting rules. I draw inspiration from both Eastern animation and Western classical art, employing a diverse range of techniques and perspectives into my paintings.
