Biography Diana Ra (Rabinovich) has been on a long journey to becoming a professional artist. Years of professional training and a personal quest for unique expression have helped her develop a style that conveys her impressions of the world with sensuality and emotion. Diana was born and raised in the former Soviet Union. Since a very young age, Diana always carried a drawing pad with her. Although, her parents didn’t approve of an uncertain future, they saw her artistic potential and didn’t stop her from spending time in her uncle’s studio. A known local artist, he taught her the basics of drawing and painting. It took her years to be able to focus on art full time. The experiences along the way have helped shape her creative self. After spending childhood and adolescence in Kazakhstan, she moved to Greece and eventually to the United States. She earned degrees in International Business as well as Fine Arts and Graphic Design. Diana ultimately found herself in the Chicago area where she worked as a corporate graphic designer and continued painting. Years later, she decided to focus on her life passion and reestablish herself as an artist. Today Diana focuses primarily on landscapes working with oil and acrylics. She continues to search for new areas of inspiration and travels the world to capture her impressions on canvas. Her work is an opportunity to share the most memorable moments and locations and the feelings they elicit. Statement I have worked in different styles and genres in the past, experimenting with various media. However, landscape painting is something that I enjoy the most, somehow it feels natural to me. I love that through landscapes I can tell stories of wonderful scenery and also convey my emotions at the same time. While observing the world around me, I am fascinated by variety of ways beauty can be expressed. It moves me and stirs up my imagination. When I travel, I am enchanted by historic towns and ancient cities, there is mystery in them. Nature also inspires me, whether it is a sandy beach and ocean waves or clouds and brilliant sunsets. I take countless pictures wherever I go and later I reflect those moments on canvas attempting to recreate the beauty and mood of those experiences. I find beauty everywhere. It brings joy to my heart by taking me back to places where I felt moved. I was fortunate to be able to visit some amazing places in the world.
