Diana Rosa
Swimming on You, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
In this predominantly blue, gold, and black surrealist painting, artist Diana Rosa captures the all-consuming feelings of love and being lost in another. "A woman in a lake is having a vision of a man on the horizon," explains Diana. A very surreal vision where the landscape transforms itself with an imaginative human emotion."


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.”
