CEO Art Safari,

Romania’s Commissioner for the Venice Art Biennale

Over the centuries, artists have played with light, explored and exploited it both as a subject, but especially as a tool, to create moods and capture the beauty of nature. Light determines colors and shadows and darkens or brightens a canvas. Light has been central to all styles of painting, from the Renaissance to Impressionism to Abstract art. Diana’s works merge design with art, tame materials and textures, highlight unsuspected connections between form and color, and above all, have a surprising ability to evoke emotion in the viewer. Diana combines natural and synthetic materials and challenges the perfection of Renaissance scenes and sculptures to a play of design and geometry.
My meeting with Diana Nicolaie was bright from the beginning. Light is the coagulation factor in her art, but also in her personality. I was won over by the courage and perseverance with which she follows her passion and the naturalness with which she managed to transform design into art.
