Works by Juan Díaz Faes
“I try to create things that make people happy,” says Juan Díaz-Faes. With an unpretentious approach to art-making and a fun-loving visual language, this emerging Spanish artist conjures loveable characters from geometries, lines and bustling patterns. Born in Oviedo, in the north of Spain, Juan Díaz-Faes grew up doodling before going on to study Fine Arts at the University of Salamanca, then developing a career in graphic design, illustration, and murals. Since 2017, cities such as Paris, Miami, Austin, Guangzhou, Uruguay, Seoul, and various Spanish cities are home to large-scale wall murals by Juan Díaz-Faes. His artwork is characterized by the use of patterns, busy combinations of line and colour whose shapes evoke characters that, perhaps, look right back at the viewer. Supported by Colección SOLO, Juan Díaz-Faes has recently begun exploring his trademark patterns in other formats and artistic media including sculpture and artificial intelligence.
