Diana Benedetti

"I was raised in a family, which taught me the concept and essence of spirituality. I was born in Cartagena, Colombia, a multicultural and colorful city that influenced my style as an artist. I have been living and working in Miami, Florida for more than 30 years. The nature of the human condition has always intrigued me. I have been drawing and painting since my early childhood, experimenting until I fell in love with oils, a very noble medium that lets itself be manipulated, and has the great advantage of its brightness and smooth consistency.

My pieces are full of exciting colors with textures and subtle messages that enrich their content. I look at the nostalgia of the past recognizing its importance, not thinking that it was always better, but using it as a reminder to improve our future. As an artist, I feel the obligation and mission of using my talent to improve the life of those who see my work, by transmitting a message of life, love and positivism."


Diana Benedetti’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions museums and galleries in the United States and abroad including the Florida Museum of Hispanic and Latin American Art in Coral Gables, Florida; the Museo de Arte Moderno in Cartagena, Colom...

I studied fine arts at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, the Miami Dade Community College in Miami, and Georgia State University in Atlanta. I have a bachelor's degree in Hospitality from a Colombian university. I was born in Cartagena, Colombia in 1963, and currently live in Miami.
