Diane Flick Paintings

Diane Flick is a Bay Area artist who paints quirky portraits of robots with a playful color palette and masterful realism. Diane Flick majored in art during college and went on to graduate school, receiving her MA in humanities with a creative study emphasis in 2001. Each of Diane’s robots expresses its own humanlike and idiosyncratic personality. From an early age, she had a fascination with inanimate objects and often imagined what they would be like with human characteristics. Her portfolio explores the human experience through non-human subjects.
