Diana Pantoja

Diana works in two main styles, her flowers where she is driven to find the essential abstract forms from each flower; transforming, deconstructing and recombining them to create images and representations beyond regular levels.
And in her most recent work, abstract expressionism, which displays a new facet in her creations reflecting on memories and/or lifelong experiences with contrasted action lines depicting lighter and impulsive brushstrokes, resulting in a renewed and refreshing finish. Diana’s work is an introspection of life, feelings and emotions in a free and vigorous manner, creating an ordered chaos, where personal flashbacks meet current states. Diana’s work has been featured across the United States, Colombia and South Korea.
