Chico Diaz is a Mexican-Brazilian actor and visual artist currently based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At the age of 14, Diaz began his acting career and has been acting since the late 1970s, appearing in several Brazilian television series and films. Chico started painting as a child. His body of work carries expressive dichotomies, all found in dreamlike narratives and landscapes that refer to the world of dreams. Ranging from spiritual symbolisms to Brazilian horizons, he is able to engineer a contrasting vocabulary; often oscillating between dark figures and joyful images.
