Artist Comments
"Queen celebrates the beauty of the black woman," says artist Asha Hanna. "The gold leaf halo is a representation of the 'glow' they exude. This work started as a portrait study and turned into a more abstract piece over time."
About the Artist
Artist Asha Hanna paints surrealist portraits of the powerful women she encounters. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, Asha painted as a form of personal therapy. "It was a place where I could express my thoughts visually," she explains. Once Asha started to consider pursuing a career as an artist, she struggled with her creative process. "I had to figure out how to preserve the pureness of these therapy sessions and also make enough money to eat." She persevered and went on to receive her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Howard University, where she learned how to push herself and also how to navigate the art world. Today Asha works from a clean, organized studio in Brooklyn, which she describes as her happy place. Her painting process starts with a live model and she captures the scene with a photograph. "That photo is then drawn over and over to adjust the shapes until I'm satisfied. I then do many color studies. Once it's finalized, I throw on RnB and get to work!"

- Deep Love, Original PaintingBy Diana Elena ChelaruLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
As part of her series of diverse family portraits, artist Diana Elena Chelaru demonstrates an expressionist portrayal of a mother and her two young children. She affectionately embraces them with tenderness. Diana represents the figures in a triangular composition to create a sense of visual unity. "I chose to represent the mother with closed eyes to symbolize the challenges of being a single parent," says Diana.About the Artist
Artist Diana Chelaru paints colorful expressionist interpretations of human emotion. “Art is a means of communication, it is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets, and joys,†says Diana. She experiments with working on large-scale paintings using the visual language of form, lines, and color to create compositions that exist only in her imagination. Growing up in Romania, she draws inspiration from Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns. She received her BFA in Painting from George Enescu Art University and finished her MA in Art History from Queens College. Diana simply goes with the flow rather than dwelling on the formulaic process. It all depends on how and what she feels at the moment. She indulges in music while she creates her work.Words that describe this painting: mother and child, figurative, figure, expressionism, movement, pattern, people, geometric, modern, woman, motherhood, acrylic paint, love, family, flowers, face, profile, eye, expressionism, people, acrylic painting, blue
