Because sometimes it just is, and there’s no reason as to why. It just is. And we strive to find meaning, to give more or less weight to a situation by attempting to understand the WHY behind the situation, because it will make us feel better to understand, to know why. But after it’s all said and done, the why won’t change anything, and it won’t necessarily bring you peace. Sometimes it is just because it is, and there’s a way to find peace with that if you’ll allow it.

The Dreamscape collection is inspired by the intangible way we experience past memories and recall dreams. When you’re actively dreaming, it’s impossible to distinguish imagination from reality. The subconscious presents this dreamscape dimension vividly: shapes are defined, faces are recognizable and settings are clear - but after waking and reflecting on the narrative, everything that seemed solid and realistic suddenly seems hazy, uncertain, unclear. Memories are like this, too. Depending on our perspective, or the mood we’re in when we conjour them, memories are ever-shifting: they can move from sweet to sour, from truth to lie, the extreme moments stand out from the mundane. Both dreams and memories exist in the extremes. They’re usually labelled in our minds as clear vs. confusing, good vs. bad, joyful vs. painful…but this is simply our human experience attempting to make the most sense of a subconscious experience. In reality, both recollections are held together by a baseline of “grey area”. This collection serves to explore the tenuous tie that binds paradox, and how it is whimsical and fleeting in its existence, ever-changing and dynamic.

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
