About 🗡
My name is Emily Dylan, pleasure to find you here.I am an expressionist artist working in a variety of mediums but primarily digital or acrylic painting. I consider myself an outsider artist working on the fringes of the true "art world" & let my intuition lead me in everything I do.
Much of the inspiration for my work comes from this strong pull of intuitive feeling...
vis·cer·al
/ˈvis(ə)rəl/
adjective
relating to the viscera.
"the visceral nervous system"
relating to deep inward feelings rather than to the intellect.
"the voters' visceral fear of change"
sus·pi·cion
/səˈspiSHən/
noun
a feeling or thought that something is possible, likely, or true.
cautious distrust.
Balance however is important in a logical approach to anything. so I like to weigh it all out with a heavy dose of philosophical & phenomenological thought for I strongly believe that the world as we know it is not what it seems. We can never truly trust our perceptions of things at face value...
If you dig what I do, please gimme a glance below 👁
