Inspiration is mysterious and unpredictable; you never know when it will show up.

At a recent show, my aunt asked, why she, a black woman, isn't represented in my work more?
I understand this yearning, we all want to see ourselves represented, especially in things we consider beautiful. This is a response to that yearning, that accusation, the desire to be seen in the light of beauty. The desire to have power. And that's all it took, I felt that familiar wave of excitement as inspiration reared its head, found hiding in this simple sentence, where am I?

In a stylistic amalgam of Pop and folk, abstract and figurative, 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 had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She makes personal women’s experiences serious subjects for art, but because of their intense emotional content, her paintings transcend boundaries by their powerful and intimate narratives. Greatly influenced by modern masters from Cezanne, Henri Matisse to Frida Kahlo
