About The Artist

Katalina Diaz | Mexican plastic artist born in 1988 in México City. After high school, as a self-taught person I decided to make my career in my father's workshop where I developed as a Tool & Die Maker (CNC’s CAD/CAM), this decision took painting for the most part of my life only as a hobby. Thanks to this new beginning in Michigan and the new opportunities this brought I could take the challenge of a full time painter. All my life I had a tendency to creativity and a strong interest and love for plastic arts, since primary school my ability for artistic and crafting works was notorious so my parents promoted the development of those skills in me. At age 12 I started with drawing and painting lessons with the Teacher Rosa Edna Galindo, Master of Visual Arts at the San Carlos' Old Academy. Who strengthened and developed my skill in drawing and painting using different techniques and plastic media. Around age 18 I completed the following professional workshops in San Carlos' Old Academy México City: * Techniques and materials for the Visual Arts. * Drawing of the human figure. * Easel Painting. Later at Vincent Van Gogh School of Painting Techniques under the direction of teacher Luz Garcia Ordoñez, I successfully completed the following professional courses certified by the secretary of public education in México. * 2011, Venetian Technique and its Virtuosity Applied in Today's Art. * 2012, Venetian Technique. * 2013, Color and Skin. From Rembrandt to Lucian Freud.
