About the Item
Artist Comments
Expressionist portrait of an intimate moment in the lives of two women. "This scene reminds me of the complexities inherent in relationships, especially within families," says Robin. "There is often a balance needed between deep love and connection and a sensitivity to the needs for independence and autonomy."
About the Artist
Robin Okun's work is both intimate and highly relatable. Her paintings reflect an incredible understanding of how we express ourselves in deeply personal moments. By focusing almost exclusively on body language and an emotionally evocative color palette, Robin encourages us to think about each character's story. And in doing so, we often find our own stories in her paintings. She layers charcoal and acrylic paint with vibrant colors, bold shapes, and fluid lines to depict forms inspired by live models, photographs, and sculpture. Robin’s visual voice is unique and recognizable. Through her work, she strives to celebrate the varied human form.

- 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

- Graffiti Day, Original PaintingBy Diana RosaLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Diana Rosa says this graphic, expressive portrait of 'Graffiti Man' is an outward portrayal of human emotion, as well as a personal fascination with the human head and skull. "The piece explores questions of identity and communication," explains Diana.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.”Words that describe this painting: man, expressionism...
