Wilson Diaz´s work is informed by the complex sociopolitical context of Colombia. His practice includes music, painting, performance, photography, and video. While the range of mediums is broad, Díaz’s oeuvre is unified by his commitment to exploring the tensions inerrant within local imaginaries and specifically by interrogating the representation of violence in the mass media. In capturing intimate moments and tracing complex constellations of human and political influence, his art offers persuasive alternatives to conventional perceptions shaped by ideology and propaganda. Diaz is one of the most relevant artists in Colombia. His work has been a constant influence on local artists and had helped to construct the landscape of contemporary art in the region.
