Emanuel Diaz came to the United States from El Salvador with his family in
1998 when he was twenty years old. A personable young man, Diaz's zest and talent
for art brought him recognition soon after he came to the NIAD Art Center in 2002.
Diaz works on his own, mainly using figurative and representational techniques for
the main emphasis of his work, whether in painting, drawing or ceramics.
He is extremely interested in the contemporary forms taken by what were formerly
called "comic books" and are now called "graphic novels," and has plans to create
one himself. He has, therefore, done a number of paintings of such famous figures
as Spider Man, as well as celebrities from the world of film and music.
He is verbally very adept, and has many brilliant ideas for stories and contexts
into which to put his drawings; his work tends to be very technically adept and
beautifully rendered, with the use of clear, almost photographic visual detail.
Diaz's work demonstrates a skill that seems to go far beyond his age and training,
and his artwork has been displayed in most of the art shows at the Florence Ludins- Katz Gallery.
