Bio


Diego Narvaez was born in Mexico City and moved to Sooke, BC, Canada in 2019. His work focuses on landscape painting while creating visual metaphors of how we, as society, construct reality through sight and how this affects our relationship with the environment. Such questions have led him to work from plein air experiences in places such as Antarctica, Iceland and the West Coast of North America.

Narvaez has presented solo exhibitions in important venues in Mexico, such as Anahuacalli-Diego Rivera and the Cultural Centre of Contemporary Mexico. Collectively, he has participated in exhibitions in USA, Argentina, Canada and Mexico. He obtained the first prize in Mexico’s Landscape Painting Biennial Luis Nishizawa in 2017. He is a member of the National System of Creators (2020-2023) by the Ministry of Culture of Mexico. He received the Young Creators Program Grant (2010, 2013, 2017) by the same institution. Collectively has participated in dozens of exhibitions in Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Spain and USA. He is now steadily building his art career in Canada, obtaining two awards from the Sooke Fine Arts Show, presenting his solo exhibition Behind Us (2020) and participating in group exhibitions in BC and Toronto.

 

The landscape continually questions who we are, what we desire and what we cannot transcend.
