Diana Was born in Medellin Colombia. She is a graphic artist and has ventured into the areas of graphic design, painting, sketching and photography.

"I am a person who loves to feel everything that is surrounding me. For me, this is the reason to be alive, to feel all kinds of things, from the most delicious ones to the most repulsive ones. Perhaps it is because I was born in Medellin, Colombia, a city filled with extremes but that has a beauty that you would never forget if you visit it once. I love to meet new people, new places, new flavors, new textures, but above all I like to experience new feelings. That is where I get all I need to continue living in this world stuffed with extreme situations.."

I studied graphic design in Chile. I paint because I have been in love with color and shapes for a long time. Painting is the form to express the feelings I have inside. Life by paint strokes. Strokes filled with color that stands out and shapes that run into each other

Diana Farfán has been working with ceramics for more that 14 years. Since she discovered that clay was a vehicle to illustrate the construction of her own alternate world, Diana has been creating characters to tell her stories through them.

Lately, ceramic marionettes and puppets have been her passion as well as her way to share with others her life experience.

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Farfán moved to United States to pursue her graduate studies in 2006. She received her BFA from the National University of Colombia and she is currently a second year graduate student at the University of South Carolina in the MFA Ceramics Program.

Luckily, she has found at South Carolina not only a place to continue making her art, but also an amazing nest to settle down. Diana lives with her husband, Greg Valente, in Greenville, SC and, during school time, she enjoys the city of Columbia and its people.
