Diezel, calling herself a Superstroke Pop Artist, was born in South Africa and currently divides her time between her studios in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Sydney, Australia. At the core of Diezel’s artistic practice is a deep commentary on life and society, expressed through bold paintings, intricate line work, and vibrant colors. Her work is strongly influenced by the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Roy Lichtenstein. Diezel’s distinctive style often incorporates scribbles, writing, and pop art imagery, creating layered narratives that explore contemporary life. Plus signs, symbols of hope and optimism, and dripping paint, representing the experiences that shape an individual’s perspective, are hallmark elements of her work. Diezel is a prominent member of the Superstroke Art Movement, which originated in Africa around 2005. This movement focuses on the continent's cultural energy, highlighting both its struggles and its beauty. Her art often features native animals and childhood cartoon characters, such as Obelix and Asterix, to explore themes of colonialism, economic exploitation, and personal identity. Diezel has several ongoing series, each inspired by the different locations and societies she immerses herself in. In her series of dog paintings, she explores canine qualities—loyalty, love, and protection—as metaphors for societal and cultural differences. Her South African guard dogs symbolize loyalty and fierce protection, reflecting the security needs in her homeland. In contrast, her Australian dogs, depicted in social and playful settings, reveal insights into a culture of leisure and community. Her "Life Collection" further showcases her ability to blend humor, irony, and deep emotional resonance. Each piece, created with acrylic, spray paint, and pastel, comes to life with vibrant colors, dripping paint, and dynamic characters, encapsulating the varied moods and circumstances of existence. Through these diverse series, Diezel provides a rich, multifaceted commentary on the human condition, inviting viewers to contemplate their own experiences and the broader societal context.
