About The Artist

Dr. John Diamond, doctor, healer, photographer, artist, is a pioneering figure in alternative and holistic medicine. He has dedicated over thirty years to art and photography identifiable by a simple and potent beauty. He encourages not only making art that is of benefit to the viewer, but also approaching the process of creating so that it is in itself a meditation. His artwork represents a synthesis of all aspects of his fifty plus years of experience in health, healing and the arts. Even in the early stages of Dr. Diamond’s artistic experimentation, he searched for the most effective methods to transmit healing energy into his work, researching various painting media, tools and methods. Dr. Diamond began using pencil, but eventually found ink and paint to be more efficient in conveying the desired strength of line and providing the flow and gestural embodiment necessary for his vision. His experiments with surfaces have led him to his current focus on foamboard, clayboard, silk scrolls and screens. Parallel with his interest in painting and drawing, he has extensively explored the field of photography. His belief is that every photograph should ideally be a testimonial of mutual resonance between the photographer and the subject. Now in his mid-seventies, Dr. Diamond paints avidly in his USA and Australian studios and continues to photograph, write and teach throughout the world. Dr. Diamond has exhibited his work and lectured on art and photography in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, Italy and Cyprus beginning in 2007 with a sold out photography exhibit and lecture at the British Council in Moscow. https://drjohndiamond.com https://www.lifeenergyarts.com
