JUAN DIAZ-FAES

With an unpretentious view of creative work, the pieces by Díaz-Faes immerse us in multiple stories full of characters which he brings to life using his unique visual language, characterised by busy patterns, lines and geometric patterns.

Born in Oviedo, in the north of Spain, Juan Díaz-Faes spent his childhood drawing before studying fine arts at the University of Salamanca, and, later, working in the fields of graphic design, illustration and murals. Since 2017, he has produced large-scale murals for cities such as Paris, Miami, Austin, Guangzhou (China), Punta del Este, Hamburg, Seoul, Madrid, and Santander.

Díaz-Faes has had solo exhibitions at the Point Éphémére centre in Paris and the Centro Cultural Conde Duque in Madrid. He has also taken part in collective exhibitions at 3 Punts (Barcelona) and the Hyundai Museum in Seoul. Additionally, his work is part of the permanent collection and several temporary exhibits at the museum of the Colección SOLO (Madrid).

In parallel to his career as an artist, Juan Díaz-Faes has worked extensively as an illustrator for media outlets such as El País, Yorokobu, and Ling, as well as collaborating with brands such as Coca-Cola, Ikea, and Vodafone, among other brands.
