Mauricio Diaz

My practice in painting, drawing, and printmaking reflect on different concepts. Concepts such as the study of the human body; the perceptions of the male body looked through the male gaze and social media. Also, the construction of identity, the perception of the self, and the importance of mental health. On the other hand, my artwork on digital media focuses mainly on the perception of my inner world and the outer world. Lastly, my performance artworks revolve around the exploration of action and repetition, using language, writing, sculpture, and photography. These mediums allow me to explore my identity as an immigrant, Colombian, and witness of conflict.
