W̶h̶o̶ What is DaftDysnomia?
Dysnomia is the Greek goddess of Lawlessness. It is also a moon on the dwarf planet of Eris— it was named after Lucy Lawless, or also known as the warrior princess, Xena. Daft? That’s just because I love DaftPunk— pre-commercial DaftPunk of course (I’m talking Homework era) and how they have become world-famous without ever revealing their identity. For me, it’s all about the art and the lore, and less about me.
Humans are a mystery to me. I can’t help but feel both isolated but at the same time, connected. I draw cosmic portraits of people with stories and use my intuition to translate a living subject to a 2D avatar living in the folds of a different universe enveloped by the very same soul retained in their present corporeal bodies— thus the name of which I call my portraits “Divine Avatar.”
I started drawing at a really young age, and peaked in high school whilst attending AP Studio Art. Career drove me to study fashion and textile in Italy. After about a decade in the fashion industry, three years of child-bearing, and general disillusionment of the world with all its current issues, I decided to step back to revisit the climax I felt as a student-artist.
For a girl who wears a lot of black, navies, and cream, I believe my canvas to breath life only with the presence of a plethora of colours.
