Dalilla Hermans is a multidisciplinary artist whose work moves fluidly between language, performance and image. Known for her voice as a writer and thinker, she began drawing and painting as a way to slow down and find calm. When words became too sharp or insufficient, color and line offered another way of speaking. Quieter, more physical, and rooted in presence.

Her paintings are driven by intuition rather than concept. They emerge from sensation, emotion and movement, guided by bold color choices and a physical engagement with the canvas. Much like Frida Kahlo, Dalilla uses color not as decoration, but as a carrier of meaning. A new way to speak about identity, pain, resilience and joy without softening their edges.

Social awareness runs through the work. Questions of belonging, power, femininity and visibility surface organically, embedded in texture and hue rather than stated outright. There is critique here, but also tenderness. The personal and the political are inseparable, echoing a lineage of artists who used their own bodies and inner lives as sites of resistance.

This exhibition does not present finished answers. It shows an artist allowing herself to be present, vulnerable and unapologetic. Playfulness exists alongside gravity; beauty alongside discomfort. The works ask the viewer not to decode them, but to feel their weight and warmth.

For Dalilla, painting is not an endpoint, but a space of encounter. Between body and mind, silence and expression, artist and audience. It is an invitation to slow down, to sit with complexity, and to recognize how color can speak where language pauses.
