Diana Majumdar
Pirouette - Encaustic Layered Painting of Birds in a Tree Contemporary

2021

About the Item

"Pirouette" is a mixed media encaustic painting on linen by Diana Majumdar. The painting depicts seven Cedar Waxwing birds perched amongst branches with maroon foliage. 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.
