Hello fellow traveler! Thank you for stopping by to see my art.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Diana Ormanzhi and I’m an artist from Sacramento, CA. I specialize in oil painting in the style of “magical realism.”

In my free time, I like to read books, play video games, hike, and camp!
Oop.. I forgot about social media because I was having too much fun painting. Let me briefly return to tell you about an event:

This weekend you can find me at Sac Comic Con Artist Alley table 65. I’ll have prints of two new paintings that I haven’t shared yet. Stop by if you plan to be there 🤍

Let’s switch things up a bit from paintings. Here’s a linoleum block print I made two-ish years ago

“Fleeting Youth” 18x14

So many of you were excited about the cinnamon snail in my sketch that I feel inclined to share this work in progress! Just finished painting the drizzle today and hope to work on the actual snail tomorrow 🐌

“A Knock on Your Window” oil painting with custom painted frame

This was one of the first layered paintings I made! It was previously a cracker mirror that I disassembled and turned into artwork

One of my goals this year is to make art that sparks joy in myself and others. I hope to bring some light during turbulent times so please enjoy a couple silly sketches that I plan to turn into paintings in the near future. I hope to have them complete for SacCon in March and SacAnime Spring.

Companion post to the painting I shared yesterday. For this piece I handpainted a custom window frame and I think it pulls the whole image together nicely.
