Artist Bio:
Diego Narvaez was born in Mexico City and lives and works in Sooke, BC. Through his work, Diego reflects on the contemporary landscape while creating visual metaphors of how we, as a society, construct reality through sight and how this affects our relationship with the environment. Using painting as the main media, Diego constantly challenges the ways we define urban and natural spaces.
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 the USA, Argentina, Canada and Mexico. He obtained the first prize in Mexico’s Landscape Painting Biennial Luis Nishizawa in 2017. He is now steadily building his art career in BC with two awards from the Sooke Fine Arts Show and a solo exhibition, Behind Us (2020), at Fortune Gallery in Victoria.
