Diego Perez

“I’m a visual artist that loves to work with storytelling and big formats. I studied my Bachelor degree at Art School La Esmeralda, the best Latin American art institution, that was founded in 1927 by Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, among others. So my artistic formation is based on the Mexican Muralism and traditional techniques. As I mentioned, my work is focused on storytelling, I like to include several characters, scenes, and symbols in my creations; this will allow the viewer to relate with the elements of my paintings and create narratives of their own. It should be noted that I grew up among an acid humor environment, that nowadays persists in my conception of the world; through painting I have discovered a way to used this character as a tool to question what surrounds me in a relaxing and different approach of oil I’m a visual artist that loves to work with storytelling and big formats.

As an artist interested in Baroque and Renaissance art, I have focused my work on light, textures and color. I considered it important to modify the legitimization of art and its regular approach of admiration and respect of the art piece by questioning the environment and by using irony and sarcasm.”
