About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Diana Elena Chelaru presents an expressionist portrait of a lady with her two cats. She communicates her love for them through gentle caresses as they sleep. Flowers and organic shapes decorate her beautiful rich plum dress, creating a solid focal point. Diana paints warm yellow and red tones that dynamically complement the affectionate portrait.


About the Artist
Artist Diana Chelaru paints colorful expressionist interpretations of human emotion. “Art is a means of communication, it is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets, and joys,” says Diana. She experiments with working on large-scale paintings using the visual language of form, lines, and color to create compositions that exist only in her imagination. Growing up in Romania, she draws inspiration from Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns. She received her BFA in Painting from George Enescu Art University and finished her MA in Art History from Queens College. Diana simply goes with the flow rather than dwelling on the formulaic process. It all depends on how and what she feels at the moment. She indulges in music while she creates her work.

  • Wild Beauty, Original Signed Contemporary Farmhouse Equestrian Painting
    Located in Boston, MA
    Wild Beauty, Original Contemporary Farmhouse Equestrian Painting 24" x 18" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas Hand-signed by the artist. A simple approach to an equestrian portrait, this gestural acrylic painting by artist April Moffatt puts the horse face to face with the viewer of the composition, engaging with a subtle eye contact to evoke a deeper emotional connection. The neutral color palette is reminiscent of a sepia toned photograph, which gives a sense of nostalgia and charm to the work. There is something calming about the painting, perhaps due to the therapeutic nature horses can have with humans. This work would be right at home on a barn ranch in Texas, but could also help bring the mid-western, country vibe to a more eclectic or transitional environment as well. Artist Commentary: Loose brushstrokes and expressive energy were used to convey the energy that resides just beneath a horses skin...

  • Serenity
    Located in Ibadan, Oyo
    Serenity is an original painting by Bright Toh. Bright created Serenity Acrylic on a 27.5W by 35.4H inches primed canvas. The artwork "Serenity" is a bright and colorful depiction of a lion head and rose flower, created entirely by a human hand. The combination of these two natural elements results in a stunning and harmonious image that exudes a sense of calm and tranquility. The lion head is the central focus of the artwork, rendered in vibrant hues of orange and yellow that evoke a sense of warmth and vitality. The lion's mane, which surrounds its powerful features, is depicted in a range of shades, from soft pastel pinks and purples to fiery reds and oranges. The overall effect is one of movement and fluidity as if the lion's mane is a living thing in and of itself. Intertwined with the lion's mane is a delicate rose flower, rendered in shades of pink and red that complement the warm tones of the lion's fur. The rose seems to emerge from the lion's mane as if it is a natural extension of the animal's power and beauty. The combination of these two elements creates a powerful visual metaphor, suggesting that beauty and strength can coexist in perfect harmony. Despite the boldness of its colors and imagery, "Serenity" also conveys a sense of calm and tranquility. The lion's expression is serene, and the rose is depicted in a way that suggests a sense of peace and stillness. The artwork invites the viewer to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the natural world, and to find solace in its quiet strength. Overall, "Serenity" is a powerful and evocative work of art that combines elements of nature in a way that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. Its vibrant colors and bold imagery capture the viewer's attention, while its underlying sense of peace and harmony invites reflection and contemplation. It is a testament to the beauty and power of the natural world and a reminder of the importance of finding serenity in our busy and often chaotic lives.
