Artist Statement:
Diane Silver’s paintings delve into the intriguing realm of forgotten moments. By interweaving writing, dynamic brushstrokes, and a palette often imbued with vibrant hues, she embarks on a transformative artistic journey, fusing various forms of expression to unravel concealed narratives and illuminate the profound beauty hidden within these neglected fragments of time. Writing becomes an integral part of her compositions, scatterings of words and phrases punctuating the canvas like whispers of memories yearning to be heard. These written fragments act as gateways into uncharted territories, unlocking untold stories and inviting viewers to explore their own memories and forge a personal connection to the artwork. Color, with its inherent power to evoke emotion and spark introspection, plays a pivotal role in much of her work. Hues intertwine harmoniously or clash with vibrant intensity, mirroring the complex web of emotions attached to these forgotten moments. Each stroke, seemingly effortless yet deliberately chosen, carries the weight of symbolism and visual resonance.
