Diana Majumdar
Fall Sonata I & II - Encaustic Layered Painting of Birds in branches with music

2021

About the Item

"Fall Sonata I & II" is a mixed media encaustic painting on panel by Diana Majumdar. The painting depicts two song sparrow birds perched amongst branches with yellow foliage. In the background, antique sheet music is subtly visible. This painting is a diptych and each of the two panels measures 12" H x 4" W. They can either be installed with a space between them, or with them touching. They can also be rearranged (as shown in one of the photographs). For more works by Diana Majumdar and new listings, follow our storefront at Colibri Gallery. Diana’s work is a process of discovery. Each painting consists of many layers of different materials and mediums. Sometimes Diana combines mediums that traditionally shouldn’t go together. Diana often uses encaustic to fuse the layers together to achieve a deep complex surface. She loves the ability to create a veiled, dreamy look. Wax allows for layers to recede or even hide. This medium doesn't allow her to become too precise or realistic. Layering, obscuring, and revealing are integral components of her work. Majumdar grew up in Estonia in the last days of the Soviet Union and was exposed to many forms of art at an early age through her father. She loved to watch him draw and paint. Diana's Father took her to see museums in Estonia, Russia, Armenia, and he gave her his large set of art books printed in Russian and Armenian. Diana studied at The Academy of Art University and enjoyed exploring the range of mediums and methods that were taught there. Diana has been taught in clay sculpture, charcoal in figure drawing, acrylics, in mixed media work, and in oil and watercolor painting.
