Diana Velásquez's work has two main characteristics: on the one hand, she is interested in technical exploration; cutting as a way of drawing, or using and mixing materials from diverse backgrounds, expanding techniques by introducing new elements. Formal research has led her to use invisible ink in Real State series of drawings, or to create silkscreens using 'direct drawing' technique (with no light) in Omnia Vanitas series. In Approach to non painting series, she used materials coming from other fields such as fashion and sewing combining them with acrylic, oil and enamel/ cotton. Moreover, she made her first approach to video through a short cut in 2022: I don't want gold, nor do I want silver, being in charge of script, set design, cast, direction etc. On the other hand, the common thread of her projects is linked to the artist's concerns with precariousness of contemporary society. She questions the efforts made to achieve the common good. She highlights the deep fracture of social consensus and the growing presence of demagoguery that seeks to sweeten social tensions, rather than appease them. Diana insists in the possibility of keeping the reflection and a dialogue open on those phenomena related to changes, alterations or dysfunctions in society. Some of the issues she developed in her work are: gender violence, migration, economic and financial crisis, eviction, etc. Other cross-cutting concepts present in her work are: architecture, landscape, language, hybridity, among others.
