Fine Art nominee

"From the cold north wind it brought winter, it was very strong and had a violent character, it is steeds were as fast as its father, the wind." This was Boreas, the god of the cold north wind, represented by a young woman whipped by the wind, will be Princess Oritia minutes before being abducted while dancing on the banks of the Iliso? or a simple young woman like the one represented by John Williams Waterhouse in 1903, but with intense red hair like her character, forming waves in the form of marine seashells with the movement of the wind in her dress?

Diana Rubi is a Cuban-American fine art photographer and visual artist based in the United States. Her work explores themes of fragility, resilience, and human emotion—deeply influenced by a pivotal moment in her life when her mother’s illness reshaped her understanding of strength and vulnerability.

Graduating in 2011 from the Cuban Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro, Diana specializes in surreal self-portraiture, using intricate photomanipulation, handcrafted props, and hand-drawn elements to transform personal narratives into universal reflections.

Her photographs have been recognized in international competitions, including the Fine Art Photography Awards (FAPA), Muse Photography Awards, ND Awards, International Photography Awards (IPA), Moscow International Foto Awards (MIFA), Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA), and Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3). Her work has also been exhibited internationally, including at the Diocesan Museum in Andria, Italy.
