In all Paco Díaz work, traces of appropriations and influences from authors and artworks of the past can be found. Tarkovsky, Vittorio de Sica, George Lucas, Blade Runner, cowboy movies, horror films, science fiction, 18th-century French utopian architecture, Archigram, Herzog & de Meuron, Morandi, minimalism... are some of the many references he has taken into account in his series. He loves paintings from the past that have inscriptions, often done with elegant calligraphy, where the written words, more than clarifying, tend to open doors to numerous interpretations. In a way, that's what mine aim to achieve. Brief lapidary phrases with a stony appearance. A concerted trompe-l'oeil, like the painted marbles and jaspers in Baroque altarpieces or like the special effects in movies.
