Creating art is my way of expressing my life journey. Painting is a positive outlet that reflects my life and the world around me. I create detailed dot paintings that take on various subjects such as mandalas, animals, nature, and portraits. I paint dots because I find the painting process to be extremely meditative, bringing me to a state of "liminality," a pause or space in between. It is this space where thoughts become silenced and I become aware of the present moment. The technique involves dropping dots of acrylic paint onto a surface using a small brush. This process requires a lot of focus and repetition. Having a long history of battling OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), painting dots has served as a form of art therapy for me. It has helped me alleviate my suffering in unimaginable ways. This is why I love the artwork of Yayoi Kusama - she used her signature polka dot paintings as a coping mechanism for her hallucinations.

My paintings are inspired by the colors from nature and city surroundings I encounter during my travels. The color combinations of the lupins of New Zealand, the sunflower fields and turquoise waters of Thailand, and the neon pink and sky blue taxis of Bangkok have provided me with unlimited inspiration.

Many of my color palettes contain juxtaposing hues or monochrome gradients, that I hope evoke both uplifting and calming responses. I am interested in how my selected color combinations can affect sensory and psychological perceptions. When colors are placed next to each other, I am excited how that makes the viewer's body and mind react.

My paintings also draw influence from nature's patterns: sacred geometry, the Fibonacci sequence, and the cosmos. Many of my mandala works play with your psyche, creating a visual illusion that I hope mesmerizes and enchants the viewer.

I'm Amy Diener and I'm a lover of color, painting, and traveling! I am an international contemporary artist specializing in vibrant dot paintings. Having a long history of battling OCD, painting dots has been a positive outlet for me and a conversation starter on spreading awareness about mental health. The painting process is very repetitive and requires a lot of focus. It is a mindful practice, where I can be fully present and aware in the moment.

From a viewer’s perspective, looking into my mandala dot paintings is extremely healing. If you are anxious, they can help lower anxiety including limiting your repetitive and intrusive thoughts. They can often guide you in meditation, bringing more focus and clarity to your practice. For children, they bring joy and laughter during times of anger and sadness.

My solo exhibitions include “A Meditation on Love” (Blaue Stunde Gallerie, Berlin), “Colors of the Capital” (Attic Studios, Bangkok), and “Mandala’s in Multi-Hue” (Ce La Vi Gallery, Bangkok). My group exhibitions include “Freelance Artist’s 98” featuring Thai Princess Somsawali (Queens Gallery & Montien Hotel, Bangkok), “Art Apart Fair” (PARKROYAL on Pickering, Singapore), “Inside” (Kalwit Studio & Gallery, Bangkok), “Luscious” (Unframed Artists Gallery, New Paltz, New York), and “Young Artist’s Group 2009” (Katonah Art Museum, Katonah, New York.)

My artwork was the cover story for Wanderlust: Expat Life & Style Magazine – Thailand (August / September 2015.) My work was selected for the Saatchi Art “Making Faces: New Portraits” collection. My artwork has also been featured in Bangkok Post, The Journal News (New York), Global Living, art4dasia, Expat Life, Bangkok 101, Bangkok Asia City Guide, AngloInfo, BKK Kids, LeParisPhuket, and Asia Art Tours.
