What is a Diamond Dust Art Print?

Part of what makes this collection truly breathtaking, in addition to Olivia’s artistry, is the process behind each Diamond Dust print. The Diamond Dust Collection first debuted at a gallery show in Las Vegas in 2019. Since then, it has swept up collectors in its glittering appeal and one-of-a-kind production value. Initially inspired by the work of Andy Warhol, Olivia has created a stunning series of diamond dust embellished prints that give a whole new dimension to some of her most popular portraits.

More than a simple reprint of previous Sideshow Art Print releases, Olivia personally redesigned each image’s presentation alongside Modern Multiples Fine Art Printing to ensure the glass diamond dust array enhances the portrait, spotlighting backgrounds, lips, armor, and other elements of the character that really pop.

Every Diamond Dust Deluxe XL print in the collection is a faithful reproduction of an original Olivia acrylic painting, staying true to the original portrait’s detail as well as the mixed media composition. Then, a unique process involving silk screens and glass diamond dust creates a pop culture portrait that sparkles from every angle. The diamond dust pieces can be found throughout the paintings, amplifying each image with strategically placed glittering effects. Each collectible print is hand-signed by Olivia with an embossed Seal of Authenticity, adding to the collectible factor of each piece.

Additionally, their XL size and custom framing helps make these shimmering artworks the focal points of an entire gallery — many of the prints measure well over 40″ tall in their frames, which come complete with archival quality mounting and hanging hardware already installed for ease of display. Made to order in a strictly limited edition of only 99 pieces each, each Diamond Dust XL print in the Olivia collection makes a truly treasured addition to any collector’s gallery.

Olivia De Berardinis

The hallmark of a true artist is a style that’s all their own, instantly recognizable and sought after throughout multiple collecting circles. Olivia De Berardinis has certainly achieved this status as an artist with her prolific body of work and extensive high-profile credits in the art and modeling world. With work exhibited in galleries across the United States and even Japan, Olivia’s art has far-reaching appeal and is collected internationally. She spotlights the power and beauty of women in the burlesque, pinup, fashion, and pop culture spaces in each of her instantly iconic creations. Her portraits are incredibly lifelike, blending bold brushstroke elements with highly refined detail to bring the most distinct features of her subjects to life.

Over the years, she has become known as someone who effortlessly combines the playful yet provocative aesthetics of pinup with some of the most beloved faces in pop culture. Olivia has worked tirelessly in the pinup and cheesecake genres since the 1970s, and since 1985, Olivia has also been a contributor to Playboy Magazine, further introducing her artwork to fans and collectors all over the world. She even received a regular monthly pinup page which featured captions written by Hugh Hefner paired with her art.
