Diana Mendoza is a Peruvian artist whose work focuses on sacred themes, including portraits of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, Christ on the Cross, and the Holy Family. She is especially known for her portraits of the Madonna. Mendoza combines European traditions of depicting the Madonna with elements of the Cusco school of her home country. The result is a unique, instantly recognizable style. As she explains in an interview, her theme is maternal love. 

Mendoza’s work is currently sold by a number of galleries in the United States. She is being increasingly appreciated by collectors. Her work is a precious treasury of sacred art being produced at a time when Christian themes have fallen out of fashion in so much of the art world. Her art is most emphatically "art for the Christian home.”
