About Juan Diaz
Juan Diaz’s work has been included in important exhibitions at the Patty & Jay Baker Naples Museum of Art, The Naples Depot Museum and Florida Gulf Coast University, as well as the Alliance for the Arts. His LIGHT Performance Art Series has been commission and treasured by the Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida, The Naples Art Association at the Von Liebig Art Center, The Sidney & Berne Davies Art Center and the Naples Film Festival.
Since the late 1990‘s, Diaz has used painting and drawing to explore and expose the complexities of life seeking freedom, respect and equality. Diaz added to his creative outlets, performing art and installation in 2010, using them to investigate the relationships between life and death. Diaz’s work shows his need to break away from the comfort zone. His work is the reflection of constant search to express his process of understanding the human experience.
In early 2006, Diaz met renowned artist Jonathan Green who resided in Naples, Florida. Green and his art manager Richard Weedman were impressed with Diaz’s compositional skills and his outstanding use of geometric planes and understanding of perspective and color, and offered him a mentorship to learn about art business, administrative and management methods, which lasted three years. Diaz was the recipient of Southwest Florida 2013 FACE Award for Culture & Arts awarded by Gulfshore Life Business Magazine and the 1999 Porter Goss Award.
