Tropical night by Beatrice Dina in Stanmore

Beatrice Dina's work explores themes of cross-cultural identity, migration, philosophy, and spirituality, focusing on the human condition through her subjective experience. Her vivid paintings merge at times lyrical abstraction with subtle representation, as the intent of her color-charged canvases is to connect with our deepest emotions and fears. Born in Italy, Dina began her career in advertising as an art director, moving then to film production. Her diverse work includes documentary films, drawings, paintings, and sculptures. “I've always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings. When I paint, I work in an intuitive way, not towards a narrative, like in filmmaking, but rather towards contemplation. I'm interested in the metaphysical, the impermanence and transformation of all things; love and loss, suffering and growth, human conflict, and most of all, how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial.”
