About the artist

Dalin Alejandrino is a self-taught abstract artist who creates subtle textured artworks, each embodying a sense of wonder and beauty in nature and its forms. Currently painting from her home studio in Sydney, her abstract expressionism is characterised by the unconscious memories and cascading landscapes painted to life through subtle textures, whimsical brushstrokes, and free-flowing movement of colour and mix media.

Intuitively delving into the unknown when painting, Dalin draws on themes hovering between past and present, family and home, land and country. She utilises layer upon layer of acrylic and mixed media to create her artworks including oil sticks and spray paint.

She was a Cambodian refugee with her family having migrated to Australia in 1987, and often draws inspiration from her motherland. That estrangement from land and family is interconnected with her emotions while paying homage to heritage, family and provincial life.

Dalin is a Fisher’s Ghost Art Award 2024 Finalist. Her works can be found in private collections in Australia and internationally.
