About

Diana has a background in costume design. Her carrier spans across different genres – fringe and immersive theatre, ballet, contemporary performances and screen productions.

Her visual art practice is influenced by the materiality inherent in costume making production and by an interest in photography and different printing techniques.

She uses different media to explore themes related to identity, personal and collective memory and the relationship between the individual and the structures in our society.

Diana holds a BA from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and has just completed the Master of Research at the RCA.
