Diyana AFSAR
(Belgium, 1987-)
Diyana Afsar is active in the visual art workshop of Creahmbxl. Diyana Afsar draws figures easily recognizable: their collected bodies move on a pair of endless legs. Another characteristic is: the details of the clothes, as the coat of the animals, are reproduced with a loving care of the detail. Her characters face us, their eyes on the edge of their faces, and they wear broad smiles, perhaps because they live in company. Diyana Afsar works with acrylic paint, felt pen or with pencils and she represents a lot of families, including famous or atypical, with a predilection for the crowned heads or the singer Ricky Martin. Her full-length portraits are accompanied by whimsical captions: the information has been remixed by the artist. Generous, Diyana Afsar offers to the others the sociability which transpires in her work. (Text: Créahmbxl, Anita Van Belle)
