Artist Comments
A couple poses together in their underwear, rendered in artist Diana Rosa's signature blend of pop and folk art styles. She cropped the composition to use the figures' clothing and postures as a stand-in for personality traits most often gleaned from portraiture. The resulting piece is an imaginative and humorous take on questions of identity, love and relationships.

About the Artist
Lighthearted and jovial by nature, Diana’s contemporary paintings depict people in varied scenarios of indulgence. Whether it is a quiet moment alone in the woods, or a tantalizing rendezvous in the tub, Diana creates private moments in carefree or comedic ways. Her narratives often include humorous sexual tension between unlikely bedfellows, enough to elicit a chuckle from even the most stoic art lover. “I create a visual dialogue where everything is possible and magic is the queen,” says Diana. “[There is] a subtle injection of ambiguity that blurs the gap between the ordinary and the fantastic. The background of this sub-world appears to be transformed into an innocent children’s fantasy that almost looks like a dream.”
