DIEGO
Artist
DIEGO (b. 1986) is an artist based in Tokyo. He became deeply involved in street art during his teenage years and began his artistic journey as a self-taught creator. His work humorously anthropomorphizes everyday objects commonly seen in the city, depicting them as abstract characters in his paintings. This unique approach has been described as a “dislocated street expression.” DIEGO’s artistic range spans from visual arts such as paintings and murals to graffiti in urban environments and conceptual art. In recent years, he has been an active member of the collective SIDE CORE, engaging in exhibition curation and presenting his own works. Additionally, he directs mural projects, collaborating with artists from around the world through his own mural program.
