Diamond is a powerful symbol of eternal love, beauty, power and prestige. Reena Ahluwalia presented 'Diamond Dreams’ - a dazzling exhibition of her incredibly detailed diamond paintings and her 'Coronet By Reena' signature spinning jewelry collection, Soul Carousel. Reena's solo exhibition took place at the Visual Arts Centre, in Singapore.

Reena meticulously paints hyper-realistic diamonds with ultra-magnified facets. Reena believes we all are like diamonds - brilliant, beautiful, radiant, luminous, full of potential and so much more. These incredible paintings take time, anywhere from 200 to over 700 hours each. Each painting is Reena's labor of love, intimately capturing the play of light and color.

Life is short. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

Celebrating a heart full of passion, 'Passionate Heart' is my pink heart-shaped diamond painting, one of three heart-shaped diamond painting from the 'Diamond Portrait Series'. Pink diamonds are extremely rare diamonds and are the hot favorite of collectors and connoisseurs. The most romantic of all diamonds, heart-shaped diamonds are often referred to as an extremely popular fancy cut and the ultimate representation of love. I love working with heart-shaped diamonds for my jewelry creations. So much so that I wrote about the most Famous Heart-Shaped Diamonds in history.

Here are a few images of the painting and process...

Live with passion, follow your heart!
