If you knew by Lana Alsamir-Diamond is a part of a continuous interest in themes of closeness, a minimalist abstract that gave way to colour in a considered way.

Moons are a constant in the artist's work, the moon has so many faces, her fascination started when she used it as a constant presence in her more figurative works, and slowly became fascinated by the shape and the possibilities it offered her work, it grew from a representation of the moon to a recurring motif, that is interpreted in many ways, "I use the motif to explore closeness, relationships and energy" the artist says.

A Sydney based Artist, made her way here via Product Design.

Alsamir-Diamond's work is graphic minimal yet bold, work that is very personal and reminiscent of the Artist’s life, packed with cultural influences and references.

Silhouettes and composition are the primary interest of the work, a sensitivity for negative space, creates the perfect ground work for colour, that is almost a distraction to the artist but a very welcome one.
"I feel my work is very intuitive and involves a fair amount of restraint, for that reason I sometimes find myself producing work that involves more figurative elements, it is almost an instinctive need to be in control, I love the dialogue that two of my pieces can have in the same space. "
