Honolulu, Hawaii

Diana Shirinova

Original Acrylic Paintings
Fine Art Prints

Created in Honolulu, Hawaii. Inspired by the changing light of the Pacific, tropical flowers and the quiet atmosphere of island life. Every painting begins with a hand-mixed palette.

The Process

It begins with colour

Diana rarely paints with colour straight from the tube. Each work begins at the palette, where pigments are mixed by hand until the right harmony appears for that painting.

This is where the character of a piece is set. Small shifts between one tone and the next carry the light and atmosphere of the islands into the finished work.
