As a lifelong admirer of art, Diego is continually inspired by the innovative minds and diverse perspectives of both historical and contemporary artists. His passion for art, design, and travel fuels his curiosity and keeps him attuned to the latest trends and movements. He is captivated by the human mind's ability to generate ideas and the inherent beauty of our imperfect creations.

Having immigrated to the United States from Colombia in 1999 due to violence and personal threats, Diego has overcome significant challenges and legal obstacles to become a naturalized citizen. This accomplishment is a source of great pride and gratitude, as it has shaped his personal growth and artistic evolution. His cultural background provides a unique lens through which he views art and allows him to approach the journey of others with empathy and respect.

Diego has always had an affinity for the creative process. He is also a seasoned user experience and visual designer, with extensive experience creating digital products for clients across various industries. "I enjoy drawing from inspiration to turn ideas into something tangible, useful, and pleasing to the eye, whether digitally or by hand. However, I find that creating art by hand is a more direct vehicle between my mind and the physical world."

Diego’s artistic practice is fluid and responsive to his current mood and inspiration. Rather than adhering to a specific style, he prefers to let his intuition guide his choice of medium, subject, technique, and scale. Through his art, he seeks to connect with others, express and evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impact on the world.
