About Me.

IMG_7612_edited_edited.jpg

DZY, also known as Daisy Corley, is a British oil painter born in 2000, currently based in London. A graduate of Saint Martins, she discovered her artistic voice early on, selling her captivating artworks at just 17. Her enchanting pieces blend dreamlike imagery with sincere storytelling, highlighted by a unique color palette of nocturne blues, compressed reds, and subtle darks DZY's latest collection, 'LOL: Layers of Laughs, Layers of Life,' showcased at the Wimbledon Art Fair in November 2025, further establishes her a rising artist in the contemporary art scene.

'My Work explores the shifting space between the absurd and the sublime. Through surreal forms - sometimes playful and grotesque, sometimes delicate and dreamlike - I investigate how humour, chaos, and silence coexist in the human experience. Checkerboards, melting figures, and clown-like motifs speak to the performance and absurdity of life, while open dreamscapes and biomorphic forms suggest moments of reflection, distance and stillness. Together, these works form a visual language of contradictions: noise and quiet, heaviness and lightness, the ridiculous and the profound. My paintings are less about answers and more about suspending the viewer in that in-between space where meaning feels just out of reach.' Dzy 

My Story 

Ive always thought deeply about life, trying to understand it as a puzzle - one made up of fragments, contradictions, and quiet moments that rarely resolve neatly.

My work explores emotional performance: the ways we hold ourselves together, the masks we wear, and the effort it takes to appear light while carrying the weight beneath the surface. Im drawn to the space where softness and tension coexist, where humour becomes a way of coping, and vulnerability is gently contained rather than exposed. 

Through muted colour, simplified forms, and dreamlike compositions, I create scenes that feel playful at first glance but linger with a quieter gravity. The imagery often sits between innocence and unease, reflecting the ongoing process of trying to make sense of what we feel rather than what we can explain.

Im less interested in providing answers than in creating a pause - a moment where viewers might recognise something familiar, unresolved, and human, and feel invited to sit with it.

Making this work, I create my own quiet world. A place to think, noticing what feels heavy, what feels tender, and what remains unfinished. It's how I process the puzzle of living , without needing to fully resolve it. Creating this world of mine is where I can think clearly, a world where things just make sense.
