Diana Savostaite I'll Take A Hot Bath, 2021 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Diana Savostaite (b.1983) was born and raised in a small Lithuanian village. She is a graduate of Vilnius Academy of Arts (2006) and holds a BA honours degree in Fine Arts / Painting. Diana moved to London in 2006, where she has been actively participating in group and solo exhibitions across the UK. Diana uses oil painting as a primary medium to create colourful and expressive paintings. Her artworks combine lots of colour tones (from light and airy to dark and gloomy) and variety of brush strokes. The painting process is especially important to Diana. She begins her artwork with applying thin transparent colour washes, then progresses it with texture and bold brush strokes, then finishes it by adding any detailed touches. All of this creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere in her paintings. Diana is inspired by her closest surroundings, observation of daily experiences and especially - nature and a personal connection with it. In her latest work, Diana experiments with new shapes and combines them together in a various ways, so paintings interconnect with each other and create a visual story on the wall. This practice has allowed her artwork to break free from the traditional painting format or rules and has encouraged her to search for a new form of expression. Through this, Diana discovered an interesting combination between painting and shape. Exhibition/Awards Diana has had several solo shows in UK - Cole's Gallery, Leeds (2020), Thames Side Studios, London (2019 and 2017), Art Fix Gallery, London (2017), ASC - Unit 3, London (2013), London Regatta Centre, London (2013).
