Rooms of Mind is a series of self-portraits that explore the intimacy of the mind through some of its processes, such as: thought, memory, decision-making, imagination, and perception.

Each character develops within rooms of small dimensions, thus creating a dialogue with ourselves and directing us towards the resolution of a specific problem.

This series was developed over an 8 month period, and some of the pieces were inspired by works of renowned artists, such as Salvador Dali's soft clocks and Marcel Duchamp's door in his apartment (which could be open and closed at the same time) creating a paradox within the memory process.

Diana's work presents visual poetry, which seeks to shape the thought, human fragility, and its nature through surreal representations that are often an open question that makes you look at more than once.

Her greatest passion is telling stories in order not only to satisfy herself but to show others a part of themselves, through universal emotions and mysterious metaphors that fill the gap between visible reality and imaginary vision.
