About
His prolonged living close to the Caribbean Sea and its tropical light impregnated his soul and artistic works with color and vitality.“All of you in me, because some way or another each one of us has humanity inside and from there everything begins” says Arnoldo. 

This artist embraces color without shyness, naturally and boldly in a new vision of POP-ART. He integrates themes about daily life with different techniques, diversity and plurality giving freedom to his imagination and creativity.

The Philosophy of Life is the key and an important element in Arnoldo Diaz’s artworks.He’s dissident with respect to some cultural values for the simple reason that he has not professed certain beliefs.

His paintings are filled with metaphoric elements that follow an existential line of thought.“As creators we cannot be conformists with the best invention, the successful formula; we have to continue with the process, inevitable change and life” says Arnoldo.His paintings attempt to capture the lost reign of infancy or the simple or superstitious world, and the clarity of colors as a perfect origin almost sacrificing the sense of the ordinary image. “Creativity transports us to parallel worlds that transcend levels of consciousness and universal views about life that help us integrate as individuals and humans” affirms the Artist; this is the real measure and significance of his artwork.
