Statement
My name is Eduardo DÌaz and
Iím a Mexican artist residing
in the Bay Area since 2001.
In my work I express different
elements of Mexican culture,
while emphasizing its Native
American heritage. I
incorporate native themes and
images, both extant and
prehispanic, into my works and
combine them with personal
feelings, experiences or
fears. Although cultural
elements are the essence of my
art, through them I also like
to express political and
social opinions. As a
Mexican, I feel in touch with
the problems at the
Mexican-American border, as
well as with the issues facing
Mexican immigrants. I also
like to express the tension
between the indigenous and the
industrialized worlds, and to
analyze the different elements
that make up Mexican identity,
especially when confronted
with life in a different
country.
My favorite medium is oil
painting. I use vivid and
deep colors, with which I
reflect the light of the
Mexican sun. Some of my
compositions are figurative,
and oscillate between
realistic scenes and more
elaborated images, with
affinity to surrealism. My
most recent productions are
less figurative and combine
the same vivid colors into
expressive abstract
constructions.
