Diana Coatu: breve biografía

Hi! I’m Diana a visual artist from Romania.

(1) Tell us a little about yourself

My artistic journey started in 2015 with a fascination for fractals, which I created with a complex software, JWildfire. I continued with mixed media and in 2019 I started focussing on digital painting, abstract expressionism being my favourite area. Between 2015 and today I have participated in numerous international exhibitions, have had the chance to be part of a jury in two art contests in India and won awards in art contests from Germany, the United States, Italy and Spain. 

(2) What is your artistic background and main interests in the art practice

Science and art are the two poles that have marked my journey in my aspiration to understand the world and the universe. While growing up I have surrounded myself with art and art creators, such as painters, poets and novelists and have always been an avid consumer of art. This later fed my desire to create and to offer a different interpretation and perspective of my world.

(3) Let´s move into NFTs: When did you start in the market and how was the transition to the digital space

In 2020 I discovered the world of NFTs which allowed me to establish myself as a full-time artist with creative freedom. My journey started with the platform MakersPlace that is still my first choice and features a large part of my portfolio. MakersPlace helped me present my artworks to a large audience of collectors. This gave me a huge boost of confidence as it was the first time I felt that my artworks were showcased to the right audience. Other positive aspects of being part of the platform is the joy of being part of a tight-knit community of fellow artists that I admire, as well as the chance to interact directly with the collectors. 

Inspiration

My inspiration is oftentimes directly connected to my imagination, subconscious but also to my view of the world. My artworks are very full of emotion and linked to my inner world. They aim to transport the viewer to an alternative world better than our world of injustices, oftentimes oppressive and limited. I propose to the viewers my dreams of beauty of other spheres, an artistic universe in which colours, textures and expressions are corridors to infinity.

First of all I try to create the right setting which for me consists of playing music or meditating during which I already start putting together a concept and visualising a first version which I then use as a starting point. By adding layers and creating textures I add different dimensions to my artworks which I don’t finish on the same day. In an iterative process I return to the artwork and add different elements until it reaches its final form. While creating, I feel connected to an infinite source of creative energy and sometimes in a dream-like state I work and lose the sense of time passing and don’t actively pay particular attention to the means of expression (brushes, textures etc.) and instead just follow the flow of energy while being sucked by the creative vortex. 

(4) How do you define your style in the NFTs market and what are your preferred topic

The techniques I use are hybrid and very versatile, I do not have a recipe I always follow, instead different many techniques depending on my mood and creative vision. I experiment a lot on a daily basis, because I am always looking for new ways of expression and for new projects. In future I will focus more on participating in online NFT exhibitions and in further growing my audience. I also plan to try out new techniques and to keep experimenting with the means of expression.
