🎨 ART OF THE DAY 🎨
🎨 Dive into the inspiring story of Diana Bittar, a portraiture mixed media artist whose journey from London to LA, through the heart of conflict and peace, shaped her bold and fearless art. Discover her passion on our latest podcast episode.
🧑🏻🎨 Diana's journey was not without its challenges. Amidst the backdrop of conflict in the Middle East, her family found refuge in the arts and education. Diana's choice to pursue a degree in visual communications and graphic design at the Fine Art University in Damascus was a testament to her dedication to her craft. However, life took her on a different path when she met her future husband, and together they moved to California.
🧑🏻🎨 For years, Diana put her art on hold to raise her three sons. But the call of the canvas was too strong to ignore, and when she returned to her easel, her focus shifted. No longer were landscapes her muse; now, it was the human face, abstract realism, and the bold, uninhibited figures that conveyed her newfound confidence and expression.
🗣️ "It's because of my athletic background also. I'm so much into movement, so I do use my whole body. I use large brushes. Sometimes it's even more than ten inches."
