Red Dress, Original Painting

About the Item

Artist Comments
Relaxed and contemplative, a woman sits reclined with both legs tucked under. Artist Gail Ragains used broad strokes of color in a harmonious combination of teal and rust defining the subject. Muted tones in yellow extend towards the background. "It evokes a calm and settled feeling."

  • Deep Love, Original Painting
    By Diana Elena Chelaru
    Located 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.
