Dina Gris is a mixed-media artist and muralist based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. At Dina Gris Studio, one of her main missions as an artist is to empower and bring a little more joy into the world, one painting at a time. In the same way that art has become a refuge for her during the toughest times in life, she strives to provide a refuge for others through her pieces.

She brings vibrant colours to her collectors’ walls and more importantly, to their lives. Dina’s love for art emerged ever since she could hold a pencil. As a shy eight-year-old starting a new life in Australia and moving from the Middle East, she tended to steer towards portraiture and figurative subjects in her art. It was her way of connecting with people. After discovering her passion for art in childhood, Dina dedicated the next 14 years honing her craft and mastering her skills, drawing and painting on a daily basis.

She continued to develop her knowledge and skills by studying at the Victorian College of Arts, Milan Art Institute and the Melbourne School of Design. Since then, Dina’s work has been noticed by brands and collectors across the nation, from being recognised by the owners of Chemist Warehouse to featuring in Melbourne’s restaurants and public spaces. At Dina Gris Studio, her work has now been collected Australia-wide and in the U.S., with her aim to reach the rest of the world, one painting at a time.
