Daliah Ammar (b. 1995, Philadelphia) is a Palestinian-American artist and designer based in Chicago, IL. Daliah is a recent graduate from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago after receiving her BFA in graphic design + visual communications. In her spare time, Daliah enjoys oil painting.

The purpose of Daliah’s work is to transcend the notion of the self and the physicality of paint, resonating from her own vulnerable and personal experiences – as a means of conveying life as it blooms and decays from within. Expressing that awareness of the self and reflecting to the viewer establishes a relationship between themselves and herself. Daliah’s works are confrontational, yet, intimate and personal – using the painted surface as a trope for the physical and psychological presence between the inner self and external viewer. Read Less
