About The Artwork
"Gulls' Way" is a poetic equivalent of the totality of my experience of the Bosphorus water way of Istanbul, Turkey. The image, like the Bosphorus Strait that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and runs right through the city connecting Asia and Europe, provides the same connection for the viewer. There is a sense of immersion informed by my sensual experience of swimming in the Bosphorus. Light on water, and gulls dipping and diving across the surface of the water create a sense of flux that is so essential to my experience of the city of Istanbul and its waters. The painting is informed by countless drawings along the shores of the Bosphorus including close-ups and water colour studies of water. A sense of wind or breath in my paintings of water is also important to me. This is a highly layered painting, arrived at through redrawing and reconfiguring of both the surface and the subject, where the almost three dimensional qualities of oil paint and found colour come alive in the paint, especially in good natural or room lighting.

Another noteworthy exhibition, 'Trans-Idyllic,' curated by Lewis Johnson in Istanbul, drew connections between Diana's work and post-modern painters such as Sigmar Polke. Furthermore, 'Akıs Flow,' curated by Jochen Proehl at BAUART, presented the flow of Diana's work through a captivating digital presentation of her numerous sketchbooks alongside her paintings.
