Diego Garcez (Aracaju, 1982) is a poet, painter and performer. His art is born from the intersection of literature, painting and the body and reflects on the crisis of masculinity, tiredness, baldness, the relationship between father and son, and the erosion of traditional institutions. His work mixes intense gestures and a dense blend of materials, creating thick textures that dialogue with the themes of his research. His first solo exhibition took place in May 2023 at the Alcântara Municipal Library in Lisbon. He released the book Satanás Lilás by Editora Urutau in October 2024 and will release avestruz, pequeno estudo sobre a prontidão, by the same publisher, in the second half of 2025. He lives and works in Lisbon.
