Jilli Darling (aka Jill Castillo) is a visual artist born in Quezon City, Philippines. She has made Berlin her home and creative hub, carrying with her traces of her former lives in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Ireland, and the UK.

Jilli’s artistic journey began early with classical Fine Arts training, followed by a Bachelor of Design in Toronto, Canada. She honed her craft as a graphic and digital designer before fully dedicating herself to painting, embracing the freedom of self-expression.

She works primarily with acrylics and oil sticks on canvas, layering bold colors and textures with expressive, fluid mark-making. Her digital pieces are experimental explorations, delving into form and color to challenge creative boundaries.

Jilli’s large-scale murals, including those for WeWork and office spaces in Berlin, transform environments with her signature dynamic style, turning everyday spaces into immersive experiences.
