Born in Iquitos – Peru, Angel Diaz is a leading Peruvian artist of a generation that emerged in the wake of South America’s influence of conflictive traditional and political turmoil. Angel studied, at first at informal studio classes in his native country and in the late 1980s established residence in New York City. There, he absorbed the acute attention to form associated with modern plastic arts, sculpture and photography, subsequently refining his own visual and conceptual vocabulary that emerged through his focus on the points of intersection between visual arts, sculpture, and spatial analysis. His complex mind-grinding images are stuff of legend. Everything he depicts becomes stuff of legend that makes us aware of our responsibility within the world as one of the most influential nation of the world. He has the smooth hands of a crafty storyteller of earthy human subjects of love, peace and understating.
