BIOGRAFIA
Dinett was born in Aguadulce, a very small town in the Republic of Panama. As a young girl, drawing was her favorite pastime. Deciding to pursue art as a career, she began formal art studies at the age of 17 at the University of Panama. Dinett paid for her college tuition through Freelance artwork and graphic designs.
While studying at the University, Dinett had the wonderful fortune to meet renowned Panamanian artist Manuel Chong Neto through one of her college professors; Eduardo Perez. She spent many evenings admiring Chong Neto’s work with a group of friends. After graduating from the University of Panama with a BA in Graphic Art, Dinett worked as a commercial graphic artist for two different clothing companies.
After marrying, Dinett moved to the United States and continued paint and teach art. In her 7 years as elementary school art teacher and worked with the public school system administrators to improve and expand the art program in their county.
It is the freedom of creativity and expression and experiences with some great artists that continues to fuel her desire to create and share art. Dinett has always been enchanted by the beauty of nature, people and places and continues paint where she currently resides in Destin, Florida.

Liberation
The artwork “Liberation” is about the independence from the oppressive rule of powerful governments. The struggle of fighting for freedom of religion, slavery, racism, speech, economic and equal rights are portrayed in this artwork. It also relates to the freeing of all the mistreated women and children from suffering.
“Liberation” symbolizes the salvation of all the people who are sick with deadly diseases, giving them hope from relief of pain and freedom of their soul. It signifies the unchaining of all slavery and discrimination imposed by others. The white color of the driftwood symbolizes all of the suffering and oppressed souls of people escaping to a better place where freedom prevails. The white also illustrates the extraction of all the good people from their suffering. The red proclaims the pain and negative energy of the blood spilled by all of innocent people fighting for freedom. The black represents the dark controlling forces, all the imposing power and the pain.
I experienced an overwhelming emotion during the process of painting this artwork and I hope “Liberation” acts as a window to share this with you.
Liberación
La obra de arte ” Liberación ” se trata de la independencia del dominio opresivo de gobiernos poderosos. La agonía de la lucha por la libertad de religión, la esclavitud, el racismo, libertad de expresión, los derechos libres de económica y la igualdad de derechos son ilustrados en esta obra de arte. También se refiere a la libertad del sufrimiento causado en todas las mujeres y niños maltratados.
“Liberación ” simboliza la salvación de todas las personas que están enfermas con enfermedades mortales, dándoles esperanza de alivio del dolor y la libertad de su alma. Significa el desencadenamiento de esclavitud y la discriminación impuesta por otros. El color blanco de la madera Balza simboliza todo el sufrimiento y las almas oprimidas de personas escapándose para estar en un mejor lugar donde predomina la libertad. El blanco también ilustra la extracción de todas las personas buenas de sufrimiento. El rojo proclama el dolor y la energía negativa de la sangre derramada por todas las personas inocentes que luchan por la libertad. El negro representa las fuerzas oscuras, que controlan todo el poder imponente y el dolor.
Yo experimenté una emoción abrumadora durante el proceso de pintar esta obra de arte y espero que “liberación” actúe como una ventana para compartir esto con ustedes.
