Biography 
My name is Daphna Dishi (30).
I am part Australian (father) and part Israeli (Mother). I have been living in Melbourne for the past 8 years. During that time I studied Fine Art at Monash University, Melbourne and continued on to study a Masters in Art-tharapy.
My Paintings are all oil paintings and reflect my internal journey through out my life. I use both abstract and realism in order to enhance this process. My latest paintings which I am exhibiting here express my connection with the Negev desert- the place where I grew up and spent most of my life. While living in Australia and being committed to my life here, I find myself constantly returning to the desert through my painting, by the use of color, shape and form. This journey enables me to fill the 'gap' that I feel between my present and my past. By revisiting the Negev in my paintings, I feel more complete within myself.

The desert also represents for me, a place where silence is rooted in the earth and there is a sense of deep peacefulness. Walking in the desert creates a feeling of unity with the earth, as we are one. The mysterious and deep encounter that I feel, is what draws me to it, and is what I am striving to achieve in my paintings.
 Style Abstract Expressionism
Movement in painting, originating in New York City in the 1940s. It emphasized spontaneous personal expression, freedom from accepted artistic values, surface qualities of paint, and the act of painting itself. Pollock, de Kooning, Motherwell, and Kline, are important abstract expressionists.
