TRADING IN CORPORATE ART TO BECOME A VISUAL ARTIST EMPOWERING WOMEN, YOUTH AND CULTURAL MINORITIES


Brooklyn based fine art photographer, collage artist and commercial photographer, Delphine Diallo wants to shift the conversation from race to human oneness. Delphine believes that humans of all races, beliefs, ages and cultures share a common universal connection. Born and raised in Paris to a French mother and a Senegalese father, Delphine has always felt the duality of growing up biracial. We discuss race in America and Europe, her childhood, her mother’s guidance homeschooling her in art education, the discipline of sports, her mentors and the painful but rewarding transformation from corporate art director to artist. The spark for this drastic change was the breakup of a 15-year relationship. That same year, her creativity was sparked when she was invited to travel with Peter Beard on his Pirelli Calendar photo shoot to Botswana.

Delphine was named one of twenty-six emerging photographers by the ICP, among the emerging stars of photography by Smithsonian and one of 30 emerging photographers by Photo District News.

Delphine's work has been featured in Essence, Teen Vogue, Vogue Portugal, National Geographic, New York Times.
