"A modern Visionary explores the power of mysticism, symbolism, and faith using ancient techniques."

In this collection of oil paintings, drawings, and prints, created between 1999-2006, Diaz contemplates the vast amount of human suffering and one's undying faith in the after-life. His mystical imagery reflects the influences of Byzantine Iconography, Retabalos, Ex Votos, The Illuminati, Ephemera, Alchemy, and 16th Century Anatomical Engravings. These powerful images are accompanied by a forward by Author, Art Historian, and Conservationist, Gloria Fraser Giffords, and an in-depth essay by Author, Professor, and Curator of Ethnohistory, Michael M. Brescia, Ph.D.
