Didi AlKassih
Didi is an award-winning artist living in Frisco, TX. She started pursuing art when a personal hardship moved her towards letting her creativity emerge and be an outlet to her emotions. Ten months after she started sharing her artwork with the world in 2017, she was offered her first solo show and has since participated in over 25 juried exhibitions. Didi is committed to helping build the local arts scene and is active in her arts community; she previously held the positions of Vice President and Membership Director at The Visual Arts Guild of Frisco.
Didi mainly works with acrylic paints, she creates her pieces using texture and layers to add depth to her artwork and she is strongly drawn to abstract expressionism. She loves to experiment with different styles vs. maintaining a single cohesive one, “Life is so diverse, similarly, I feel art should be a reflection of the many different aspects of one’s composition, surroundings and experiences”. Besides painting,
Didi has always been passionate about photography. She is especially captivated by nature’s portraits; they carry wonder that deeply moves her and opens up a new world of creativity within her. She has developed a personal and original style combining her two passions together, painting and photography, “I turn a beautiful photograph into a piece of art using my brush strokes, it allows me to blend the enchanting reality of a photo with the magical works of imagination”. Didi’s inspiration mainly stems from her personal journey in life, “Painting helps me explore what’s deep inside, it gives me a clearer understanding of myself and the world around me, it provokes me to accept, change and grow”.
She enjoys creating pieces originating from anything and everything that moves her feelings and stirs her inside world. Her goal is to use her artwork to entice people to look within themselves and undertake their own journeys of self-exploration, “Although most of my work stems from a very personal place, I believe we all share universal emotions and struggles that I aim to depict in my artwork”
