FLAG Celebrate the Arts – Session 6

Diana de Avila

Diana de Avila is an International award-winning artist who has “acquired” savant syndrome and synesthesia. Her artistic gift arrived suddenly and explosively after a relapse of multiple sclerosis and worsening traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 2017. These injuries drastically affected her vision and cognition, while also compelling her artistic emergence. Since the relapse she has created a body of work numbering over 1200 pieces of digital art without formal training. Diana creates cosmic digital art rooted in fractal geometry, – where quantum physics, chaos theory, and divine order converge. She has found her “tribe” called “Techspressionism,” an artistic movement founded by Colin Goldberg. Her digital art is developed in both moving and still formats. Her largest collector base is within the world of Crypto Art and NFTs (Non-Fungible Token). Diana is the subject and co-author (with Wilma Davidson) of her new book Soldier, Sister, Savant, which shares the story of her artistic genius and samples of her art from 2017 to early 2021.
