Diana Large Curriculum Vitae
I am an Artist and Designer graduated with a Master in Arts and Textiles. Originally from Colombia.
I have been living and working in different countries such as USA, England, France and I am currently living in the Netherlands.
This international exposure has given me the opportunity to introduce new elements from different cultures into my work, constantly adapting and transforming.
I started my career working as a Designer for different companies creating patterns for commercial products. In parallel I worked as a Community Artist where I experimented with various painting techniques, sharing ideas with other Artists, creating art with the objective of uplifting people and discovering my own style.
My favorite medium is acrylic paint.
I am passionate about colors and love using them in different tones and contrasts. Colors make me happy and this energy is reflected into my creations. I wish for anyone to experience the same feelings of happiness when looking at my paintings.
Influenced by different Artists and movements, I particularly like Wassily Kandinsky and his color theory of expressing feelings and creating emotions by playing around with colors. I also enjoy the work of Gustav Klimt and the way he developed every detail in his paintings, presenting beautiful compositions filled with emotions.
I like travelling and, everywhere I go, nature, architecture, light and music draw my attention. Every trip, near or far, inspire me greatly. Flying over a city, a field of tulips or walking through a forest will trigger my imagination. I will start drawing maps of these places in my mind and will transform them into shapes, patterns and shades of colors that will end up on my canvases. My intention is for every single element of my painting to be leading to the next shape or patterns and then become a playful and joyful dance for the eyes.
I hope that you will enjoy my work.
