Practice

Diana Oană is a visual artist working in graphite. Her practice reduces the visible world to its essential lines, mapping an inner territory where memory, light and meditation are frozen on paper. She graduated from the National University of Arts Bucharest, Faculty of Fine Arts, Painting department.

Process & ideas

The vertical line is not merely a graphic element, but a symbol of continuity and of the link between the inner and the outer worlds.
