ature in all its beautiful glory bursts into life on Diana Malivani’s canvases as she passionately shares a reflection of her soul in paint. Flowers and landscapes – both figurative and abstract – are principle themes of her artworks; bold, bright and filled with calming energy, the paintings convey the great feeling for nature which enhances her life. Inspiration is all around the artist in music and nature; the two combining in a melody of colour and form; the rhythms of the universe constantly enticing her to put brush to canvas as the sounds and sights of the world work in perfect harmony. The mood to create is always within Malivani,

the happy inclination and impulse arising spontaneously within her. Her process sees her listening to classical and modern music as she paints, allowing herself to be transported with the sounds to a special place where images appear; bright splashes of colour responding to each other which she transfers to canvas. Based in Cyprus, via Russia and France, Malivani’s paintings are exhibited in a number of local galleries. Her work also appears regularly in exhibitions worldwide, and has been published in international art journals. gwr-artgallery.com diana.malivani@gmail.com
