ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Darian’s artwork visualizes our complex encounters with medicine in ways that are both inviting and enstranging. Although healthcare can be a heavy topic, dreamy palettes of pastels and even glitter transform a difficult and isolating subject matter into a universal tale that nearly anyone can see themselves within.
