GARDEN OF MEMORIES Painting

Diana has always been passionate about visual creative expression and exploring different materials. With a background in bookbinding, she began painting seriously after becoming an apprentice to the renowned Latvian painter Nikolajs Karagodins. Initially focusing on landscapes and still lifes, Diana has evolved her style over the years to specialize in floral and nature themes. Her studies in aromatherapy have significantly influenced her current work. For each of her artworks, Diana creates complementary scented soaps, oil perfumes, or aroma bags. Each painting is designed to transport the viewer to a meadow, enveloped by nature. She uses multiple layers of paint to capture the texture of plants, the dynamism of wind, the interplay of light and shadows, and to evoke a sense of abundance and growth.
