An Afro-Cuban artist, born into a disadvantaged background despite coming from a family of artists (he is the grandson of the painter Roberto Juan Diago), Diago is a graduate of the San Alejandro Academy. Above all, in his painting he seeks to denounce the transatlantic slave trade in Caribbean history, set against a mystical, sacred and magical backdrop. These works, created using various recycled materials, depict anger, uprooting, worship and offerings to the deities… Basquiat’s influence is palpable. He took part in the Venice Biennale in 1997 and the FIAC in 1999…
