Get To Know Dariana
Art is one of the many ways our Jubilee community members share their stories, passions, and perspectives. In this profile, we’re getting to know Dariana Arias, a talented artist whose work will be featured in an upcoming Jubilee Art Gallery November 13, 2026.
We sat down with Dariana to learn more about the person behind the art, her creative journey, and what inspires her. Here’s what she had to say:
How would you describe yourself?
“I would describe myself as artistically creative, self-reflective, and curious.”
Dariana Arias is a professional artist, rooted in the visual arts; she masterfully blends analog and digital modalities to create interactive experiences. While her academic journey led her to the study of political science and philosophy at George Washington University, her artistic soul was ignited much earlier.
It was during childhood; she was introduced to art via the timeless grace of charcoal still-life and landscape oil painting.
What’s something you’re really proud of?
“Persevering with Art as my career regardless of the business unpredictability, as well as structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Art is what I love to do, and beyond been my professional career, art has become a crucial part of my life, providing me with tools that help me with self-understanding, as well as knowledge of basic business management.
Being an independent professional artist is quiet a fantastic journey! I'm proud of myself for believing in me and having faith on my unfolding creative potential.”
For over a decade, Dariana has been cultivating this dynamic artistic practice in Washington D.C., sharing her vision through exhibitions across the DMV area.
What is something you hope people remember about you?
Dariana's work is a powerful reflection of the intersection where traditional techniques, meet urgent contemporary themes, gracefully exploring gender studies, sociopolitical issues, cultural heritage, and spirituality.
“Different groups of people, see different sides of me that they might remember me for. As a visual artist, I want people to see mental images of any of my paintings, and remember me as synonymous with art.”
