My work reflects the commitment and defies priorities and localities of various projects and themes I take upon in producing a bulk of work. Lately, following my three trips to croatia with a group of artists, visiting towns and villages that are stilling struggling to come to terms with the aftermath of 1991-1994 war My work in process is a resulkt of these events, memories, photographs taken and communication with locals whose human spiritual scars and traumas haunt me. I hope to create through my images a human dialogue where otherwise sophisticated communication has faltered.

Born at Novi Sad in Yugoslavia, Diana Zwibach now lives in the Fylde area of Lancashire in the north of England. She studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, going on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Printmaking at Chelsea School of Art and an MA Degree at the Royal College of Art, London. These studies were completed with the support of an Israel Cultural Foundation Scholarship. Since 1971 Diana has contributed to group and solo exhibitions in the Middle East, Europe and North America. Describing her work, Zwibach has written, "I am concerned with exploring my inner self as it reacts and responds to outside realities. My work celebrates the sensual nature of mankind struggling to achieve moments of peace and harmony in a never ending battle for survival on a spiritual plane."
