Angel Diaz is a contemporary artist, who’s works are reflections of diverse social and prosaic topics. With an unconventional aproach, their controversial imagery and multimedia techniques, are purposly chosen to tap into the viewers minds and bring attention to their original topic. 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. Angel’s work can be found in myriad of public and private art collections both in the United States and abroad, and have been seen worldwide. His painting "ONE” is part of the permanent collection of the “Museo Amazonico”, of his hometown of Iquitos – Peru. He currently lives and works in New York City. Angel Diaz is a creative mind that holds a B.A. in Commercial and Plastic arts, received from the School of Visual Arts. Subsequent to that, he earned a MA in media ecology from NYU’s school of communications. His works have been included in numerous private collections, as well as national and international auctions for charitable events organizations such as; Cipriani’s restaurateurs, In–New York Magazine, New York Waterways, The Big Apple Greeter, The Brooklyn Community Services, The Hats of East New York,
