Totems 2 Painting

Lana Alsamir-Diamond is a Sydney based artist made her way here via Product design. Alsamir-Diamond’s work is graphic minimal but bold, work that is very personal and reminiscent of the Artist’s life, packed with cultural influences and references to far away places. Silhouettes and composition are the primary interest of the work, a sensitivity for negative space, creates the perfect ground work for colour, that is almost a distraction to the artist but a very welcome one. “I feel my work is very intuitive and involves a fair amount of restraint, for that reason I sometimes find myself producing work that involves more figurative elements, it is almost an instinctive need to be in control, I love the dialogue that two of my pieces can have in the same space. ” Medium and process Lana loves working on paper, she loves that paper is unforgiving and translates her vision beautifully. The Artist uses hand made, 100% cotton rag paper, in natural colour with raw edges. Paints with Japanese ink and only the finest Acrylic paints. Only original artworks sold, no artworks are available as prints.
