Diane Marsh

Artist Biography

Diane Marsh’s paintings present imagery of conflict, contemplation, and resolution through her depiction of life-size and larger-than-life figures juxtaposed with objects of nature or text. Although painted in a hyper-realist manner (artwork akin to high resolution photography) Marsh’s work almost surpasses meticulous renderings by often painting her subject’s skin as nearly translucent, revealing veins flowing with blood or red, almost raw skin surfaces. By doing such, the artist conveys vulnerability and emotion. Often in her work, Marsh includes words from world philosophers and in The Ending of Sorrow, Marsh references the late writings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher and writer.
