Through a detailed oil painting and drawing technique, contemporary artist Diana Carolina finds in her painting the aim to give visual form to the processes of introspection, interpretation, creation and relationship with reality and with herself. The artist is best known for her unique portraits made with a careful and meticulous realist technique. Diana`s work has been exhibited on several galleries and museums in cities such as Puebla, Mexico City, Querétaro, London, Miami, New York, Madrid, Los Angeles, and most recently in Barcelona, forming part of the renowned art contest ModPortrait 2021 at the MEAM.

It inspires me greatly being able to witness what artists from around the world are creating, as well as connecting with the people who feel identified with my work. Although, it can be truly demanding trying to keep a balance between posting content and painting.
