«Considering «In the Shade of the Wood», the exquisite observation of light is expertly conveyed through her brushwork to evoke a true sense of the elements and the, simple yet supreme, ebullience of life itself. Malivani uses vibrant hues to depict the warm air and soft breeze of the environments in her compositions, which transport the viewer directly to the idyllic scenes portrayed and induce a feeling of overwhelming serenity. The delicacy with which Malivani paints each petal of the elegant flora radiates the artists passion and spirit whilst demonstrates a firm naturalistic influence, albeit, strong ties can be seen between her and Georgia OKeeffe through the diaphanous effect they achieve in which the flowers appear almost translucent; each tangible ray of sunlight can almost be felt upon the skin of the observer as it is absorbed into the fibres of the blossom».

For the Artist, landscapes represent an inexhaustible source of inspiration. A principal goal of artists depicting landscapes is to convey the music of nature. Diana Malivani believes that landscapes created on canvas should awaken in the soul of the viewer the desire not only to participate in the subject of the painting but also to hear the «music of the landscape».
