Hidden in Plain Sight by Dina Marie Views

In a world that moves fast, Dina Marie’s fine art photography asks us to pause. Each image captures more than a moment; it captures a feeling of place. Drawing from her background in interior design, Dina transforms walls into immersive experiences, creating art that does not just hang in an environment but becomes part of its architecture.

Trained and practiced as an interior designer, Dina’s understanding of structure and balance gives her photography an uncommon fluency with space.  “There’s an eye that an interior designer has,” she explains. “It’s about finishing a space, finding the vibe, and using art to complete the message of the room.”

Her new series, presented as an offering in Art You Can Hold, explores the connection between environment, emotion, and the tactile experience of fine art. Each image reflects her belief that art should engage all the senses, drawing viewers closer to the textures, light, and spirit of the interiors they inhabit. Fine art photographer and interior designer Dina understands this intimately. For her, the process is not complete until an image exists in its physical form, printed and framed with intention and presence.

Known for her ability to merge design and photography, Dina collaborates with architects and curators to create installations that evoke calm, curiosity, and connection. Her large-format works have appeared in residential and commercial settings across the country, from private collections to hospitality and corporate projects.

Her pieces are designed to communicate beyond the literal image, creating an ambience that can be felt within a space. Each work invites a quieter kind of attention, a moment to simply be present with color, texture, and form as they reshape the mood around you.

“Every piece starts with how a person should feel in the setting,” she adds. “I look at the lines, the light, and how the room breathes. The art should feel like it belongs, as if it has always been part of the design.”

In her Art You Can Hold offering, Dina Marie continues to blur the boundaries between art and environment. Her work encourages viewers to see photography as a living element of design, one that changes with the light, the viewer, and the moment. Each installation is less about filling a wall and more about crafting a moment of pause and reflection, a subtle shift in how one experiences an interior.

From sweeping hotel lobbies to the calming corridors of healthcare spaces, Dina’s imagery adapts to its surroundings without losing its voice. She understands that a piece may greet a guest behind the check-in desk or offer a quiet moment of peace within a patient care setting. In every environment, the work remains grounded in emotion. It is art that shapes a space and invites connection.

Dina Marie is an interior designer and fine art photographer based in Clearwater, Florida.

Her photographs enhance how people feel within an environment, turning walls into quiet extensions of mood, story, and texture. Each piece is conceived with a designer’s eye and an artist’s sensitivity, reflecting her belief that art should not simply decorate a space but become part of its soul.
