About
Diane Drubay is a visual artist nudging for eco-empathy. Her work transforms captures of natural landscapes into micro-narratives interpreting stories of possible futures. Drawn by the aesthetics of social science fiction literature, colour psychology and current scientific discoveries, her practice includes photography, video art and 3D models. Her ecological art odyssey began in 2012, documenting nature's allure in Monet's garden in Giverny.
Her work has been shown at Gothenburg Art Sound Festival in Sweden, Bacalart Festival in Mexico, Galerie Dièse 22 in Paris, TRESOR Berlin, Urban Spree Berlin, Factory Berlin, Alte Münze Berlin, SPEKTRUM Berlin.
She found inspiration during her art residencies in the Creative Center of Stöðvarfjörður in Iceland, the Berlin Art Institute in Germany, and the Nida Art Colony in Lithuania.

Diane Drubay's artistic journey explores Nature's beauty, the unity of being, and the urgent need for environmental consciousness. She is driven by a deep concern for ecological issues and a desire to reflect the pressing matters of our time through her artistic expression. Her work fosters appreciation for interconnectedness, inviting viewers to engage with the world.
Her artistic breakthrough sparked in 2012 as she documented the impact of seasons on Claude Monet's garden in Giverny, France. Immersed in the awakening of Nature and its ever-changing beauty, she embarked on a creative exploration that shaped her artistic vision.
Inspired by the transformative power of time in Nature, she gravitates towards isolated landscapes to capture the awe-inspiring beauty and reflect on our place within it. Through fieldwork expeditions to remote locations, she fuels her creative process and explores the mythos and scientific explorations of our Planet.
Between 2013 and 2018, Diane Drubay dedicated herself to a monumental project, tracing stages towards ultimate transcendence through nature. Compiling impressions of the rising and setting sun, she showcased the dance of light and shadow. This culminated in the creation of "Odyssey," a mesmerising 23-minute video and cognitive enhancer, offering viewers an authentic and powerful experience.
From 2015 to 2017, Diane Drubay wanted to reach people when they were best able to feel the colours and rhythm of the videos, and let themselves be transformed. So she chose to organise urban screenings in Berlin, in the street, in clubs and even in yoga studios. The idea has always been to accompany people through a profound transformation in order to create a strong relationship with nature. She also collaborated with various musicians who composed tracks in reaction to her videos. From this, a record was released in 2017 and live-performance were organised internationally.
Since 2019, she explores natural glitches in Nature and their impact on our perception and collective imagination. Drawing inspiration from 19th-century landscape painting, 1970's science-fiction literature, and 21st-century planetary research, Diane Drubay started craft visionary narratives that invite viewers to contemplate the present and future. Through various media and conceptual paradigms, she weaves sci-fi-infused landscapes, urging nature-awareness and inspiring positive future stories.
Embracing emerging technologies since 2021 thanks to the NFT bloom, she ventures into 3D models, GIFs, and micro-videos, advocating for responsible and sustainable practices within the art world.
