A Life of Curiosity

Welcome to this intimate space, stepping aside from the social media networks, into a room where I hope we can keep each other good company with a tea or wine and a snack while we learn, inspire and get to know each other better.

If we haven’t met before, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Diana. I have lived for nearly a decade in a small village, close to Vienna, Austria, where I have rediscovered the peace and silence that, deep inside, I was missing dearly, but I couldn’t connect to that feeling due to the ongoing noise of the cities I had lived in until then.

Romania is my homeland, but over half my life so far has been spent outside of this beautiful country I still call home. Countries where I have lived in - like Mexico, Poland and Austria -, their people and culture, have each taught me something different that I hold dear to my heart.

I have been drawing for all my life, since I was a little child. I can still remember the smell of the toothpaste I used to make those snowflakes on the winter landscape for the drawing class in kindergarden. Due to different circumstances, for many years, I never really had the chance to access and use so many mediums and inspirations as I can now. And for that, I am grateful!

Although at some point I did very much want to pursue a career in art, I now work as a product manager in the IT industry. However, I have made from art a passion, an outlet I reach out to in order to open my mind and heart to a place where I can do whatever my heart desires.

So it is here, in a tiny and quiet village in the mountains, that I have given myself the chance, courage and time to reconnect to different art mediums and subjects that I had been shying away from.

I have been blessed to have met wonderful, inspiring and talented people in life, and I have followed the creations of artists on their social media accounts, their blogs and on websites dedicated to the art forms I am most attracted to. They have taught me so much, many unknowingly, through their generosity of sharing their knowledge, skills, talent and I will write about each one of them and the joy they have brought to my life in my future blog posts.
