Diane Griffiths is an artist from Sittingbourne in Kent specialising in landscapes although she also paints animals and abstract pieces. From a young age Diane had a love for painting and continued to develop these skills throughout her teens . She went on to study Media and Business at University and now works full time in London within the Media industry. Through working in the media she has gained a great deal of experience which has helped her in promoting her own business. She has held many exhibitions of her art in Kent and East Sussex and continues to look for inspiration for new projects.
Diane says " The landscapes I paint are based on places I have been; I use experience and memories as my starting point, however I am fascinated by pushing the contours of a beautiful landscape into the whimsical and the truly magical. I don’t try to re-create images, photography is more than apt at doing that, but push the scene a little further with the imagination. Although I like to try many different styles I feel that Impressionism has always been the strongest influence in my work."
"I am a very visual person; nothing gives me more satisfaction than colour, shape, texture and light. I am constantly amazed by the power of colour, how different it can look depending light and adjacent colours. It isn’t about representation; it’s about so much more."
"To me painting is escapism; it allows real thinking time away from the grindstone. I will finish some paintings faster than others when my thoughts are racing, my brush keeps pace. Alternatively it can be a time to let my brain slow down, my focus can turn fully to the painting and I will shut everything else out. I couldn’t say if one state of mind achieves better than the other, it’s all emotion and it’s all part of life."
"I aim to inspire the resources of your mind and achieve a genuine moment of 100% attention. If you find that I have interrupted your world, even if only for that single moment, then I will be satisfied."
"To me art is about giving something magical to the viewer; shapes, colours and textures all spark off the imagination, the brain and senses are stimulated, prompting emotions way beyond the visual representation. It's about appetite, stimulation, fascination, and infatuation."
"No two brush strokes can ever be the same, no two paintings will ever match, and that is my inspiration."
Diane is available for commissions of landscapes, abstract, flora or animals. You can see more of her work and contact her through her website.
