BIOGRAPHY
Diva was born in France in 1972 from a Vietnamese mother and an Italian father.
She is now, working and living in Barcelona.
She studied graphic design and illustration, and began to develop and show her personal work in 2000.
She has always been using different techniques, mediums and materials to express her imaginary.
Mixing painting, digital work, and photography… she likes to experiment…
Diva dreams about a lost and poetic world, in which there are sensual living creatures, dark angels or mutant animals…She plays with the alchemic limit between darkness and beauty to create a visual metaphor of our reality.
Perverted virgins, angels dedicated to temptation, tortured genetics; she suggests the decadence of humans
« I turn darkness into my source of light, black is my color, and the perversions of this world, my inspiration. Beauty is my savior… » Diva
