Diana Rosa LatourtDiana Rosa Latourt was born on June 24th, 1971 in Holguin, Cuba. Diana is a Bachelor of Art in Art History; she studied Art History at the Oriente University in Santiago de Cuba (1989-1994) and worked during seven years at the Contemporary Art Center in Holguín as a curator. Also she worked at the Academy of Fine Art in Holguín, Cuba teaching Aesthetic.
After, when she came to Canada she worked at the Royal Ontario Museum in 2002.
Diana’s paintings are known for her use of rich exoticism, images that reflect from her memories of her tropical experience. Imagery from the source of all imaginary are executed with amazing sophistication and concentrated into monumental emblems and effects of pure color, independent natural appearances on a radical simplification of forms. Her work has come to possess a freedom of movement, spontaneity and gentleness inspired by the color of the Fauves (Henri Matisse) and the archetypes of the Naïve art (Henri Rousseau) . Elements of Cubist and Surrealist art seem blended, offering a refreshing and youthful version of the abstract, rich in modern symbolism combined with many elegant touches of the classical school.
Diana’s work is strongly influenced by her origins, and her memories of the small village near the ocean where she spent her youth. Her works contain references to symbols of identification, and there is a spiritual message conveyed by the colors she chooses. Her treatment of her symbols creates a feeling of stability and serenity. Her painting is much like an epic poem where human life is in harmony with nature.
Diana Rosa is showing her work at the International Artexpo New York and Toronto Art Expo every year and her work is gaining in popularity and success.
Her paintings are found in many private and corporate collections throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean.
