Diana Matilda Crișan (b. 1995) is an emerging queer artist based in Bucharest, with painting studies completed at the National University of Arts in Bucharest. 2015 marked her first exhibition, in a group show hosted by UNAgaleria. She has been a constant presence on the local art scene ever since then.
Her works are the result of an interdisciplinary process involving drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and embroidery, all mediums becoming tools of exploring her interest in the multiple transformations of the Anthropocene. Filtered through their own perception, her works are reflections on the processes of creation and destruction, the fine line that separates nature from human development. Returning to Bucharest, her hometown, after three years of experience in Paris, Matilda has become more and more aware of her past, using it as a resource for new artistic projects.
