Diane Love x Paris

Remaining true to the rich history of Paris became our biggest challenge for this project. We wanted to elevate the design yet bring a sense of familiarity to the Parisian heritage of art.

Diane Love delicately weaved the archetypal expressionism of Monet into her work, creating contemporary elegance and the perfect transition between something old and something new.

Interview with Diane Love:

Q1:

Diane, you have a long history of working with many types of medium, what is it that particularly draws you to the use of collage/ mixed media?

Diane:

It's the outcome of working many many years in different mediums and I realised that assembling pieces of a different mediums, materials and colours is very much my wheelhouse, what's most comfortable. This is my aesthetic signature. This is my way of self-expression. And everyone has an aesthetic signature, It's like your fingerprint.

Q2:

Do you have a process of planning the composition of your pieces in advance or do they evolve as you go?

Diane:

I always I think the most difficult thing for many artists is a blank canvas. So I always try to get something down just to get myself going. It's just how you're feeling that day. Is it a colour? Is it a stroke, a gesture? It varies, but it invariably keeps transforming. I think it's really dangerous for an artist to feel they have to follow rules. The whole process is to trust your instinct.
