DIEGO TAMAYO
I was born in Bogotá, Colombia. I live in London, Ontario, Canada. From an early age I became interested in the history of art. In college I studied advertising, drawing, graphic design, photography and video. After many years of working in advertising, I chose to get fully involved in photography. In 2012 I began to combine photography and art. For 5 years, until 2017 I experimented with many techniques to finally find my artistic path. For two years until June 2019 I finished my first large format piece. My work is a mixture of photography and digital painting, which is painted line by line to finish it in a large-format print with vivid colours reflecting the intricate mix of nature and imagination. In my paintings I represent the unity of the universe with being, we are all one with the universe. I represent the energy that surrounds us and of which we are part of, an intricate network of connections that if we could see with the naked eye it would show us the complexity ethereal of the world where we walk.
