I feel a mentorship can really benefit artists as they enter the art world by steering them in the right direction. I was fortunate enough to find these wonderful resources by myself, but I do wish I could have found a local mentor or an art community early on in my creative career.

I also join an online program with an art mentor which offered many useful resources on how to market and sell art and offered a Facebook group for artists to network. I made many mistakes and wasted my time, not really knowing how to promote my work, with whom to network and where I can find the right audience and collectors for my artistic style.Īlong my creative journey I found wonderful resources with the Dougherty Arts Center here in Austin, Texas, which offered occasional lectures on how to run an art business. Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?īeing self-taught I entered the art industry with little knowledge or connections.

In addition I have to note my admiration of Agnes Martin for her iconic work with the grid, and Maurits Cornelis Escher for his impossible constructs and his remarkable work in the field of optical art. Artistically my work is influenced and inspired by Kazimir Malevich, El Lissitzky and the Suprematism movement. I draw inspiration from my day to day life experiences as well as psychological phenomenas.

It’s important to me to show how my drawings take shape and how much thought, manual measurements and drafting goes into creating hard edge abstract work by hand.

People often mistake my drawings for graphic software artwork, so I try and share as much of my process as possible on my social media channels.

This process mirrors the conceptual notion that life is built of a series of events that molds the way we view different experiences. I create a grid that outlines the image I envision. In my work I introduce different geometrical elements to emphasize that a configuration of sensory, mental and emotional influences colors our perspective in a certain way. You could say that I am mostly interested in the WHY of the human experience – Why do we do the things that we do.Įach drawing begins with the intent of expressing a specific concept and the layout is always premeditated based on sketches. I explore how these impressions connect and interact with each other in shaping our view. I’m fascinated with the building blocks of our perception, and how we process those to understand our environment, mentally and emotionally. My art is mostly intellectual, presenting concepts of order and clear defined ideas. It was then that I felt ready to share my art with the world. The dynamics of these new experiences and ideas have manifested in my art and blossomed into a distinctive voice and style, using lines, patterns and bold black geometric elements. As a former psychology student I couldn’t help but examine and analyze the cultural differences I now saw so clearly. The move brought on new adventures and adjustment challenges that influenced my art work. Originally from Israel, I moved to the US in 2017 with my husband.

However I never studied art in the traditional sense and it wasn’t until my 30’s that I decided to take my passion to a professional level.

Growing up art has always been an interest of mine and I often enjoyed doodling shapes and drawing lines and patterns. In my practice I combine fine-line drawing techniques with geometric shapes, constructs and patterns. I make hard edge geometric abstraction drawings that capture my own experiences of the world. My drawings are made on heavy Bristol paper or illustration boards, using technical pens, India ink, acrylic inks, and professional grade markers. My name is Dalia Goldberg and I’m a pen and ink artist based in Austin, Texas. Although it wasn’t a big sum, I was filled with gratitude for her support and felt over the moon knowing she truly connected with that piece.Īwesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers. When I told her the price for the original drawing she said that it was above her budget, but later she purchased a print of the work and it’s still hanging in her home to this day.

My first dollar ever earned came from a friend who thought that my art looked cool. The first dollar you earn is always exciting – it’s like the start of a new chapter and so we’d love to hear about the first time you sold or generated revenue from your creative work? Dalia, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We were lucky to catch up with Dalia Goldberg recently and have shared our conversation below.
