Diliana is a contemporary abstract artist whose work explores the subtle spaces between emotion, memory, and nature.

Born in Bulgaria, raised in Italy, and now living in Dubai with her family, her journey back to painting was sparked after becoming a mother—a rediscovery of her identity and lifelong passion for art.

From an early age, Diliana was drawn to drawing and painting, though her creative path was set aside during her years in the corporate world. Picking up the brush again was not just a return to art, but a return to herself.

Her process unfolds intuitively: each brushstroke leads to the next, each layer an embrace of the unexpected. Working primarily with liquid acrylics, inks, and water on canvas, she creates delicate washes and organic forms that echo the shifting rhythms of the natural world.
Earth and green tones frequently emerge in her palette, inspired by landscapes and memories that continue to shape her.

At the heart of her practice lies a profound search for connection—to her inner world, to the environment around her, and to the shared human experience.

“My process is both meditative and expressive, balancing control with surrender. My goal is to create art that resonates on an intimate level, sparking both reflection and a sense of belonging within a space.”
