ARTISTIC EXPLORATION

Nature's Influence

Among the sea’s inhabitants, jellyfish hold a special place — they glide majestically through the celestial blue expanse, reminiscent of stars in the universe.


Diana finds inspiration in the natural realm with a keen interest in the world's nuances. The sea, with its ever - shifting shades of blue, captivates her. To Diana, this colour symbolizes love and harmony — a universal language that transcends boundaries.

As an avid snorkeler and diver, she immerses herself in New Zealand’s underwater wonders. The towering kelp forests and delicate pink coralline algae clinging to rocks tell tales of a thriving ecosystem. With each descent, colours fade, leaving only the steadfast blue as her companion.

Diana's artistic process involves the acrylic pouring technique, allowing her to create mystical underwater landscapes. Deep blues blend with hints of green, while touches of red and yellow breathe life into her canvases. Among the sea’s inhabitants, jellyfish hold a special place — they glide majestically through the celestial blue expanse, reminiscent of stars in the universe.

Beyond the ocean’s depths, Diana explores another fascination: trees and fungi. Growing up near Germany’s national parks, she embarked on family adventures — cycling through forests or foraging for wild mushrooms. Here, the intricate connections between trees, animals, and fungi unfolded before her eyes. Trees, more than mere oxygen providers, possess hierarchies, social systems, and a nurturing spirit. They care for their sick, protect their young, and engage in symbiotic relationships with other species.

In her art, Diana weaves these narratives — the dance of colors beneath the waves and the silent dialogues among ancient trees. Each brushstroke echoes nature’s harmonious symphony, inviting viewers to explore its hidden wonders.

UNSEEN WORLDS

A Call to Preservation

What lies beyond our sight often slips from our consciousness. For many, the profound depths of the sea and the enigmatic society of trees remain unseen.

Equally invisible are the perils threatening their survival.


“I seek to transport you into the awe-inspiring realms of both the shallow and deep sea, as well as the lofty heights of trees
