Checo Diego was born in 1972 in Mesa, Arizona. A self-taught artist, Mr. Diego considers his most meaningful educational experience was apprenticing for a mask maker. From this experience Mr. Diego realized that abstract color studies and points in time hold profound interest for him.
His orchestration of brilliant colors and geometric shapes seem to lead the viewer through time and space – a perceived “sequence of events” within the painting- resulting in a feeling of structure and physical movement.
'I'm agog for the next moment of passage into time', the artist explains with excitement,'; 'the instant, that no one has yet to realize.' Utilizing form, color and dimension in his art, Mr. Diego brings his own brand of order to chaos.
'I see my existence as a constant state of transition,' says the artist. 'A conversion in which every point along its route corresponds with my state at the time, and with those other points that intersect it.'
