Sol Diaz
Through painting, photography, interactive community projects, and installation art, visual artist Sol Diaz explores personal narratives, history, and the poetic relationship between nature and man. Guided by this inspiration, and working from their own relationship to colonization as a first-generation queer person, Diaz crafts an animist vision of growth in marginal spaces.
Their approach to art-making is influenced by Rasquachismo, a Chicano art movement that emphasizes resistance and resilience in the face of adversity, as well as Ma, a Japanese concept that refers to the interval or space between things. Their work as a whole stands on its own as a quiet, spiritual, and radical act.
Sol Diaz is a Houston-based visual artist and graduate of the University of Houston - Downtown. They have exhibited their work at notable venues throughout their native city, including Box 13 ArtSpace, HCC's Wedgespace, Houston City Hall with the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Project Row Houses, and Sawyer Yards. They are the recipient of the Summer Studios Residency with Project Row Houses, The Idea Fund Grant with Diverseworks, and are featured in a collaborative publication by Mujeres Malas and Fifth Wheel Press. They are currently in residency for Lawndale Art Center’s Artist Studio Program
