Dalia Erney

I am an artist and local art educator who was born and raised in  the Cleveland area. For years, I pursued my painting work, selling prints, illustrations, and creative gifts at local art markets and shops. More recently, my photography work has taken a front seat and am now working to gain exposure and to continue to develop the body of work.

Artist Statement:

I love to explore the world around me through my photography. I often find myself looking up and around at architecture, other objects, and the sky, noticing the influence of light on colors and textures created by the changing of time and day. Through the removal of context and the use of symmetry, the imagery in my work strangely separates itself from our everyday lives while also creating a sense of familiarity in the new and unseen. I work to design a sense of harmony and wholeness in the seemingly incomplete, while also urging the viewer to acknowledge modern day’s fast-paced society as a culture built to bury the mindful art of noticing.
