Collection: Jilli Darling

JILLI DARLING aka Jill Castillo was born in Quezon City, Philippines.

She has established her home and work in Berlin but left traces of former lives in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Toronto, Dublin, and London.

She uses oils and acrylic paint, in a style both dreamy and daring, sometimes with a hint of darkness. Her work demands both depth and child-like indifference, reduced or layered, always abstracted.

She muses in inks, charcoal, and collages on paper. Her digital exercises crafted on her iPad are playful abstractions, colourful and bright. She covers canvases with flat, bright, bold shapes, crafting imaginary scapes and other worlds; a dreamscape, a thought, or fragments of memory.
