Dafne Blade is a multidisciplinary visual artist, creative director and Artcare Conservation painter, researcher and technician who prefers large scale works and focuses on Symbolism, psychology and color theory. They explore mythology, holistic knowledge, and broader themes of gender, sexuality and identity, pushing against societal norms and censorship thus celebrating individuality and power of human nature.
They love to work within the turmoil of duality and multiple perspectives, inviting viewers to step into worlds that blur the lines of fantasy and reality. In this limbo of space, they release, express, and process complex emotions and ideologies, encouraging viewers to interpret their own consciousness and find power in vulnerability.
Blade is a queer non-binary artist born in Paraguay, raised in Miami, Florida and searching within their roots of european, indigenous and middle eastern ancestry. They studied BFA Illustration at NYC’s School of Visuals Arts, Old Master’s technique with ARC approved ateliers, and art conservation with ArtCare Conservation over the past 10 years.
