Diana Rosa
Swimming on You, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
In this predominantly blue, gold, and black surrealist painting, artist Diana Rosa captures the all-consuming feelings of love and being lost in another. "A woman in a lake is having a vision of a man on the horizon," explains Diana. A very surreal vision where the landscape transforms itself with an imaginative human emotion."


About the Artist
Lighthearted and jovial by nature, Diana’s contemporary paintings depict people in varied scenarios of indulgence. Whether it is a quiet moment alone in the woods, or a tantalizing rendezvous in the tub, Diana creates private moments in carefree or comedic ways. Her narratives often include humorous sexual tension between unlikely bedfellows, enough to elicit a chuckle from even the most stoic art lover. “I create a visual dialogue where everything is possible and magic is the queen,” says Diana. “[There is] a subtle injection of ambiguity that blurs the gap between the ordinary and the fantastic. The background of this sub-world appears to be transformed into an innocent children’s fantasy that almost looks like a dream.”

  • House on the Hill, Original Painting
    By Kira Yustak
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    "A woman is walking away from a house, and she is leaving behind her old life," says artist Kira Yustak. "She is deep in thought, wondering what her future will hold. She also has many memories in the old house that she called home. The painting is meant to be hopeful in the face of adversity and change, reflected in her large soulful eyes."


    About the Artist
    Kira Yustak paints fantastical scenes that come from her childhood memories, dreams, and the natural world. Each piece feels like part of a larger narrative of an alternative reality, rendered in a style she describes as comic realism. She feels art must trigger something inside the viewer’s soul.Kira currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Lowbrow, Folk, and Surrealist artists.
