Passata
Diana Orving
Diana Orving, born in 1985, is a Swedish artist renowned for her work with textile sculptures and paintings that explore themes of origin, memory, and the subconscious.
In her approach to form, she treats her sculptures as organic entities, with fluid seams that evoke the natural lines of veins or branches. Orving's art seeks to encapsulate and understand mental states, relationships, and physical processes through movement and form, often utilizing the lightness of fabrics for large-scale works. This approach allows for a surrender to unpredictability and an exaltation of the creative process. Orving's work, resonating with depth and interconnectedness, is created and exhibited in Stockholm.
