About The Artwork

Alter Ego,’ crafted by Diego Tirigall, is a striking 1 x 1 meter canvas that merges the complexities of personal and corporate identity through a vibrant blend of mixed media. This expressionist and figurative artwork centers on the enigmatic portrait of a businessman in a suit and tie, infused with symbolic and whimsical elements. Ears reminiscent of Mickey Mouse and rabbit ears introduce a playful duality, blurring the lines between professional decorum and childlike imagination, a nod to the street art influences in Tirigall’s style. The innovative use of oil pastels and solid markers adds depth and texture, while spray paint and enamel bring a modern, urban finish. A prominent diamond, a signature element in Tirigall’s work, offers a sharp commentary on materialism and superficiality. The portrait’s lavish mouth, brimming with teeth and extending a long tongue, portrays bold, uninhibited expression. Words like 'knowledge', 'drive', 'strength', and 'experience' float around, enriching the dialogue on power and self-awareness. ‘Alter Ego’ by Diego Tirigall challenges traditional views, presenting a visual conversation about the visible and hidden aspects of public and private identity, firmly rooted in the street art tradition.

Born in Buenos Aires in 1976 and now based in Spain, Diego Tirigall grew up in a family of antique dealers and art restorers, instilling in him a deep respect for art from a young age. A self-taught artist, Tirigall has developed a unique style that blends elements of neo-expressionism, art brut, and street art. His work is characterized by bold primary colors and a knack for deconstructing pop culture, offering a critique of modern life without dwelling on its darker aspects. Tirigall's art aims to activate critical reflection in the viewer, challenging them to decode and engage in meaningful debate on current issues like financial decentralization and screen addiction.
