Delune creates richly layered, textured inner stories on cotton canvas, loose linen, and paper. Breaking away from traditional boundaries, she intertwines paint with a wide variety of materials—from oil pastels and paper cuts to glitter, gold leaf, and delicate embroideries. Deeply inspired by animism, anatomy, geometry and astrology, her works takes the form of organic maps and otherworldly landscapes that invite introspection and celebrate the magical depths of the psyche.
