Lillian Dissi
Lillian Dissi explores the connection between varying manifestations of the natural world. Taking inspiration from the human form, the elements, and landscapes, her work illustrates the cyclic narrative of the human experience. Her distinct brushwork and use of heavily saturated colors create emotive pieces that are open to interpretation. Lillian’s art is reverent nods to the human perspective.
