Beneath the Surface Painting

Diane Cox (Coventry, United Kingdom) is an artist working with paint whose ideas merge perspectives of polarized emotion, Spiritual searching and struggle to create unexpected vision of an undiscovered Universe, Suspended in time and space, her paintings represent dimensional gateways of mind state, the results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning shifts and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. In producing diversion, she creates intense personal moments by means of misrule, omissions, acknowledgement and rejection enticing viewers to take a risk by going further and deeper for a new discovery and expression of an Unconscious aspect of Self, there is no end to the continuum of startling revelations from the abyss of the Soul.. .Her original inspirations are Myythology, Magic, Legend, fantasy artworks on the album covers of her youth, romanticism and dynamic contrast naturally led to appreciating the works of Waterhouse, Millais, Bouguereau, Blake, Fussli, Turner, Rubens and Caravaggio. Diane is particularly interested in Ancient Civilizations and Symbolism, weaving her knowledge and experience of Mysticism within her works, she is a practising Astrologer, avid Stargazer, Moon bather and animal cuddler. Diane currently lives and works in Cape Town.
