DIANA SHUIU WONG
New Series - "The Stem Cell Series - The Genesis Within"
Diana's new series...
In The Stem Cell Series, Diana Wong ventures into the primal architecture of life — that first spark where creation begins at the cellular level and the universe reveals its blueprint. Each large-scale canvas, six to ten feet in size, pulses with the energy of formation, where color and movement evoke the miracle of regeneration and the boundless potential of human existence.
Wong interprets stem cells not merely as biological entities but as symbols of cosmic unity — a living bridge between the human body and the greater universe. These primordial cells, capable of becoming any form, mirror the same universal order that connects galaxies, oceans, and consciousness itself.
Vivid greens and deep blues collide with bursts of radiant red and gold, suggesting both the intimacy of blood and the infinity of starlight. Through this celestial alchemy, life’s eternal cycle of creation and renewal comes alive. Her dynamic, textural technique mirrors the spontaneous energy of life — from the flow of blood and branching of neurons to the birth of stars.
Wong’s Stem Cell Series invites viewers to contemplate their place in this shared genesis — to recognize that within each of us lies the same creative spark that forged the universe. Through her art, the act of seeing becomes an act of awakening — a reflection on how science, spirit, and creation are forever intertwined.
Recent Series - "The 5th Season"
In the Earth’s self-rotation towards the Sun it creates 4 different seasons. But I never knew how the sun actually shifted with the seasons until I lived in the Santa Monica mountains years later. The gorgeous sunsets I watched every early Spring over the ocean at my house would slowly disappear and hide into the next months as days go by.
The sun setting would eventually move to the lowest point where two mountains meet during the Summer Solstice. Then it would start its cycle and return back to the Autumn evenings, where I could once again watch the sunsets on the ocean.
Nature follows universal order as we follow nature: The series of The 5th season came from the realization that we are part of Nature. We are not the most intelligent species on earth. Even though Science can improve our standard of living, we should always follow the order of nature. The 5th Season is the Future in Chaos as we continue to violate Mother Nature - A warning which is already happening!
A Film Inspired by a Painting
“We have arrived at a point in time where human evolution has brought about a more full understanding of nature, and the ability to see the whole of the natural world, and our planet, as interrelated. But even as the agents of life’s most advanced accomplishment, we pursue a destructive path and threaten the very resources we need to survive. Will nature take a step backwards and overcome us? Or is there more that we have yet to see that will increase our chances of survival, and to thrive?
All Seasons Become One explores these questions through the vision of artist Diana Wong. We observe the artist’s movements as she paints the four seasons. In the theater of the natural world, a vast wilderness, her alter ego roams the dunes of inspiration. She has doubts that humans really do see enough of the total world to make its gloomy predictions – global warming, the end of the world. It seems to the artist in the studio an incomplete view, a conceit to assume that humans can overcome nature. In the desert her wandering spirit shows her we have a long way to go before we can see the whole, let alone make predictions about it.”
