About

PĂ­o DĂ­az is an artist with a strong interest in science. In his early years, he wanted to dedicate his professional career to chemistry and physics, only to discover literature and visual arts later in his life.

Through different cultural perceptions, he investigates a variety of phenomena and thoughts around him, transforming them into artistic interpretations. His expression and style is often charged with poetic visual language and inspired by the fascinating transformations in nature.
