Artist Comments
Artist Diana Elena Chelaru depicts a stylized portrait of Marilyn Monroe elegantly draped in a dress with geometric and floral shapes. The composition moves with colorful ornaments in blue, purple, white, and orange. "In creating the painting's background I used the flat wash technique, one of the most basic watercolor techniques," shares Diana.

About the Artist
Romanian-born painter Diana Chelaru’s paintings are colorful and contemporary interpretations of human emotion. For Diana, art is a means of communication. “It is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets and joys,” she says. Though she gets great pleasure from applying paint to canvas, it is the expression of emotions that she finds to be most important. Diana’s style is influenced by Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns within his compositions. Each artwork is created intuitively, resulting in paintings that speak to the soul.
