Diego Vázquez (b. 1993) Monterrey, N.L. Mexico. Self-taught painter based in Mexico City. His work focuses on painting, using airbrush as his main tool, and utilizing various surfaces as his canvas.
Diego’s inspiration comes from the streets of the city. He enjoys walking through the city that inspires his work, observing murals, religious iconography, advertising found on every corner filled with popular elements and cartoons, as well as all the people who inhabit these spaces.
The title of his show “Perdiendo La Fe,” which translates to “Losing Faith,” reflects the daily life of Mexican people, always hopeful despite adversity, seeking help and finding solace in something greater than ourselves. Providing comfort and motivation to continue during difficult times.
“Losing faith” refers to when we think everything is wrong and nothing has a solution, so we go to our temple, take our scapular and pray or walk to the altar at the corner in search of hope.
