Diana Delgado invites us inside her Yonkers studio and gives us a closer look at her gestural abstract paintings.

My process consists of starting with a number of layered, sweeping gestures that are then built upon. Paint is added and subtracted until the painting is complete.

I have been playing around with letting line drawings of recognizable imagery remain somewhere in the picture or just plopping them right on top of the painting. This includes balloons, bows, ribbons, legs, and nostalgic Christmas and childhood things. It has been liberating to include the silly and frivolous in a more obvious way. I also have been making interior and exterior corners in which these items exist.
