Biography:

Misha Diaconu evokes suppleness and delicacy through the grandeur of her works, emphasizing the inner emotions reflected on the outside. For Misha, metal is both a material and a graphic element and she usesit to draw, to write, to describe and to tell stories.

Misha Diaconu practices a figurative art, with influences from surrealism, realized in a dreamlike, sometimes playful key. Monumental size or not, her works attract by the quality of the execution, by the way in which the potential of the material was used.

Misha has had eight personal exhibitions, the first one took place at Imbold Gallery - "Matter and Spirit" - with seven works and installations inspired by music, theatre, sensuality and fluidity. She participated in over 40 group exhibitions in Romania, Austria and Greece, and from 2022 she is exclusively represented by Kulterra Gallery.

Collection concept:

 Both Contesele/ Countesses and the works from the Te simt în podul palmei/  I feel you in the bridge of the palm series are based on the symbolic construction of femininity. Countesses portray sensitivity, attitude and grace through the relationship between supple, fluid volumes and slightly theatrical movement.

I feel you in the bridge of the palm series put apart firstly the tactile sense, then the visual one, urging the audience to look beyond the image with the help of the palms. Each work has a different texture in order to create different sensations to the touch, to evoke different emotions.
