Diego Díaz
Contemporary Artist
Born in Santuario, Colombia (1986)

In Diego Díaz’s plastic work, time lacks a present. His papers, canvases, bars, and drawings are postcards taken before the journey. In each piece, light parasitically interacts with shadow. The viewer sees rust in a screw that pierces through a canvas, a sign of the future, while the past reflects in the spectator’s face, a fortuitous mirror of a graphite portrait stored in memory. Diego Díaz rejects the notion of time; his technique encompasses drawing, painting, and sculpture in a classic and realistic manner, alongside installation and ready-made elements. He is a contemporary artist born in another era, whose organic work overflows its initial support, surrenders to light, and explores the infinite possibilities of space. For over a decade, his creative proposal has gained the favour of galleries and collectors, steadily building a presence on the international art scene.
