Open the Door to your Soul - Conundrum I is a painting that opens the door to the soul. This image looks deep within you and allows you to look within yourself. Conundrum I is a fabric and paint collage inspired by quilting. This rainbow coloured woman’s face is created with alternating columns of fabric and acrylic paint, changing between light and dark. One column will go from dark at the bottom to light at the top and the next one will be the opposite. The face is painted with green, yellow, orange, red and violet. The strips made of fabric are created by cloth with the same colour as the face so it is both seamless and separate. The woman’s face is actually a double face – the right side is stretched into a second face. The left eyes are jade with some lemon. The right set of eyes starts with crimson and moves into plum.

Her hair has 2 strips of emerald and purple. The rest of her tresses are little pieces of quilting fabric – white with gold, pink, magenta, fuchsia, lavender, coral and rose. The bottom part of this art consists of triangles of fabric – the bottom half of each tiny square has a blue, ultramarine or cobalt triangle, angled toward the middle of the artwork. The upper half of each little cube is either white or black fabric with flowers that match the colour of the strip that piece of fabric is in.

Conundrum I is part of Diane’s goddess series. The depth and awareness you receive from this painting creates inner peace. You will experience peace, serenity and healing as you look at Diane’s work.
