“This woman is an example of cross-cultural success in art and culture area. Here is she: a successful ambassador of fashion and culture, and Diana is leading for women’s rights. Of Russian citizenship, birth and upbringing, she is a highly successful international artist. Her passion is art and her favorite country is Italy. She decided after 15 years of working all over the world to turn the page and give in to her passion, which has now become her profession: she has the art galleries in Italy and other countries, and her paintings are exhibited around the world. When I called her to tell her about our subject, I asked her, Diana, how do you explain your success? She replied, first of all, I am a woman and I choose to act as such, I have worked as a man works, but more than that it is the cultural richness that life has given me that has allowed me to break down doors and convey my passions.”

The Philosophy behind When I am creating an artwork, I want to share with you the world as I perceive it.
My works are a blend of ethnographic and cultural research. As I travel the world, I see that people have the same problems everywhere. And I believe that education is the best weapon against violence.
What is special about my art? It is the love that I give to my paintings that is opening the cage of personal drama of the soul, it shows the beauty of happiness and it is educating to share positive energy.
