About the Artist
Dalkhafine is a multidisciplinary artist. Born in France, Delphine is passionate about culture and travel, and has been living in Montreal since 2013. "My illustration pays tribute to the Tiger constellation (Tigris in Latin, named after the Tiger river) and the Mermaid constellation (near from Ceneus). The tiger, powerful and majestic, surrenders with grace in front of the mermaid, whose head radiates like the sun. The sun represents the sovereign star, the one which gives life and light everything around it. Majestic and inevitable, it looks after the universe, like the mermaid looks after the moon that she accompanies with a delicate gesture. Around them, the stars shape a protective constellation, like a celestial sanctuary where this encounter between terrestrial power and cosmic energy happens."
