“Sunlight and Shadows plays on the emotional landscape of transition; the good, the bad, the uncertain, and the exhilarating, experienced with the arrival of a new season in life. For me, it reflects a time when planned solo and group exhibitions did not come to pass amid the Covid era, leaving space to pause, reconsider, and respond in quiet ways. The painting carries that complex, often contradictory pulse of change, where light and darkness coexist and shape one another, and where absence can be as telling as presence.” – Dalene Meiring
Artist Bio
Dalene Meiring’s work explores themes of femininity and interconnectedness, creating immersive worlds where familiar motifs—flowers, landscapes, cityscapes, objects, and animals—take on rich, symbolic significance.
With a longstanding fascination for the subtle ways in which the elements of our lives intertwine, Meiring weaves gentle, anecdotal narratives throughout her pieces. Whether depicting an abstracted landscape, a vibrant floral composition, or a tranquil animal at rest, each painting invites contemplation of the interconnections between nature, memory, and personal experience.
