Live Life Passionately, Dahling!

Details

    I am a contemporary abstract artist, deeply immersed in the world of watercolour, gouache and pen illustrations. My work is an exploration of the beauty around me, transformed through an imaginative lens that weaves fantasy and storytelling into each piece.

    Colour and texture are my muses, and you’ll find that my collection exudes a whimsical, playful spirit. This joy is further enriched by my love for jewellery and crystals, which often find their way into my artwork, adding depth and allure.

    For many years, art has been my joyful escape from a fulfilling 30-year career in the design industry, where I thrived as an interior designer and workplace consultant for prestigious global companies. I relished every moment of that journey, but in mid-2024, I decided to take a sabbatical. It was during this transformative time that I revisited long-held dreams of prioritising my artistry. I began to ponder a soulful question: What if I embraced my artistic journey fully? Remarkably, when we invite such questions into the universe, it responds in ways that often feel magical, Dahling.

    An enlightening art retreat in Chiang Mai with my mentor opened my eyes to new possibilities, sparking conversations that clarified my artistic soul. I realised the importance of creating art that reflects my true identity and speaks to those who believe in its magic and resonates deeply with their whimsical imaginations - pieces that are sure to bring smiles.

    As I embrace my nomadic lifestyle, I remain open to new projects that align with my creative spirit. I believe in the power of collaboration and am dedicated to supporting fellow artists. Together, we can conjure something truly magical.

    Currently, I reside between my birthplace of Singapore and my mother-in-law’s home in Paris. The future is a canvas yet to be painted, and I am excited to see what stories it will unfold.

    Hello Dahling!

    I am Indra Dilaila, born and bred in Singapore, and I am currently living as a nomadic contemporary artist between Asia and Europe.

    After spending thirty (30) years in the interior design industry as a workplace consultant, 2024 marks my transition year as I fully embrace my passion for art. I create the Big Hair Gurls, inspired by watercolours and gouache, celebrating our big ideas and embracing our inner femininity.

    My creative process begins with a deep exploration of my surroundings, drawing inspiration from the beauty of everyday life and the rich narratives woven into culture. Each piece is approached with curiosity, allowing my brush to dance across the canvas and capture fleeting moments and emotions. Collaboration with fellow artisans further enriches my vision, fostering innovation and depth.

    Inspired by the landscapes I traverse and the diverse, beautiful souls I encounter, my work bursts forth with imaginative illustrations that invite you into my journey. I share my experiences through short video stories, “The Chronicles of When My Brush Dances,” on YouTube. Each story intertwines reality and fantasy, featuring me as I create an artwork within the scene.

    Through my art, I aim to evoke wonder and connection with our creative souls, inviting you to engage with the stories embedded within each creation. My journey is one of exploration and discovery, and I welcome you to join me as I continue to push the boundaries of imagination.

    Live life passionately, Dahling!

    Lots of Love, Indra Dilaila

    Whimsical, Imaginative, Abstract, Vibrant
