Footprints
Through these portraits, I aim to explore the delicate balance between realism and abstraction. My creative process is driven by an emotional connection to the subject, using color and form to evoke introspection and vitality. Each brushstroke is an attempt to capture fleeting expressions and the vibrant energy that defines the human experience.

Diana Andriot – Fine Artist & Visionary Creator
Diana Andriot (born Tšiževski) is a visual artist based in Tallinn, Estonia, whose work bridges the dimensions of realism and abstraction. A graduate of the Open Academy of the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) in painting, she has devoted her career to capturing human emotion and the unseen landscapes of the mind.
Her artistic journey took a transformative turn during her five years in France, where she independently curated exhibitions in Haute-Normandie and Haute-Garonne, Toulouse. This period deepened her artistic expression, blending classical techniques with contemporary experimentation.
Initially recognized for her intricately detailed realistic portraits, Diana has since shifted her focus to abstract pointillism — a technique that mirrors the fragmented yet vivid nature of lucid dreams. Her compositions weave darkness through color, and reflect evoking visions from the subconscious with meticulous precision.
Each of her artworks is a one-of-a-kind creation, rooted in the belief that art should be an authentic, irreplaceable experience. Rejecting mass reproduction, she offers collectors the opportunity to own truly unique pieces. Original works are available for acquisition, and she welcomes commissions for those seeking personalized, meaningful art.
