Transparency is a recurring feature in Diana Orving's creations, as she often employs materials such as silk, metal-mesh, jute, and cotton gauze. She personally dyes the silk, meticulously blending pigments to achieve the precise shades she desires. In her sculptural paintings, she utilizes oil paint on silk, considering painting as a form of lighting, where thin layers of white bring form to life from the darkness. Her work captures a profound sense of interconnectedness, emphasizing that one is not an isolated entity but rather a small part of a larger system.

Through her art, Diana Orving seeks to express and comprehend states of mind, relationships, and mental and physical processes through form and movement. Diana Orving's artistic style is characterized by its associative and intrinsic fluidity. Her sculptural installations exude a strong sense of presence, as the bodies of the sculptures twist and turn, reminiscent of dancing shadow figures. Within the spaces they inhabit, these sculptures interact with one another, creating a choreography accompanied by the interplay of shadows on the walls, symbolizing the intangible and untouchable.
