Diana Kostova

Hello, friends from near and far! My name is Diana and I am an amateur artist, or so-called self-taught. I have no special art education.

A few years ago, I couldn't even imagine that I would paint, until a lovely painting in the virtual space caught my attention and called me to follow it.

It was acrylic pouring. Apparently it awakened a spark in my soul that had been sleeping for perhaps centuries, because I started studying the process, watching videos online and… that's how it all began…

Later the brush and palette knife attracted me and I decided to surrender to them. I paint floral paintings, landscapes, abstract.

What do my paintings express?

I don't know… or maybe I do… For me they express life, but art is not really what the artist sees — it is what makes others see, feel, experience… isn't that so?

I don't always know what I'll paint. I stand before the white canvas, immerse myself in the silence of my soul and listen with my heart.

I know there is a world ready to reveal itself to me. A world filled with much love and light, a world touching every fiber of my senses, a world carrying me on its wings and fragrances. And I… I only convey in colors the vibrancy of its pure messages. To come alive, to be shared, to bring joy, to bless and help those whose path they will cross…

I am Diana Shines, a creator by soul, and I invite you into my inner world, painted with love — little pieces of blessings… for you…
