After establishing herself as a successful fashion designer, Diana Robleś (pronounced Robe-lay) went on in search of the unknown. Robleś spent her childhood and youthhood in rigorous classical piano training, Diana was filled with latent creativity waiting to blossom.
She emigrated to Maui at this time and the tropical island helped her bring forth her first style. Constantly redefining herself and her work Diana, pushed through the years of frustration and toil associated with pioneering. Diana was very clear when she started painting in 1975 that she did not and would not copy anyone. She is inspired by what is inside of her not what has been done already. A main channel which she utilizes to express these unknowns is through feeling instead of academic technique. She allows what wants to be expressed come out. Interestingly her work does not stop with the initial revelation. She works and reworks areas defining, emphasizing, and balancing her primary strokes which initiated the piece. She has worked on pieces for months, or days. Occasionally, when flipping through her portfolios reflecting, she will bring a piece back out and complete the thought. She has shared many of her works with the people who have crossed her lengthy path, but luckily she has also preserved thousands of pieces of work showing her development. This development started by painting the garments she otherwise would have been weaving and has lead her to several strong individualistic styles spanning over 40 years. Yet she says to this day "I have so much left inside of me, I will never get it all out." I invite you to share in her journey of painting. - FC |
