Original artwork description:

As a visual artist, Diana Rosa takes inspirations from an alternative upbringing where she closely connected with the natural landscape around her. Born and raised in Cuba shaped her perspective on nature and how humans interact with land, animals and each other. She employed a Naïve Folk-Art style to explore questions of identity, love, relationship and environment in our society. Her paintings often have strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She makes personal women’s experiences serious subjects for art. Her paintings transcend boundaries by their powerful and intimate narratives and the intense emotional content. She is greatly influenced by the modern masters from Cezanne, Henri Matisse to Frida Kahlo.
Diana Rosa’s unique artworks combine keen observation with a free and honest style of painting. Uninhibited by technical draughtsmanship, her works has a visual ‘pop’ through his bold use of colour, and flat layering. Diana’s work has been described as naïve or an outsider. The artists derive everything from their own depths, and not from the conventions of classical or fashionable art. She portraits stories in which the character and circumstances of the artist makes the art richer with the accompanying narrative. Her simplistic style of painting can often mean that the hidden complexities in her work - including her powers of observation, her humorous reflections on society, and her deeper references to art history - can be inadvertently overlooked.
