Ignacio Diaz has worked in many art forms; sculpture, mosaic and collage, to name a few, but his passion lies in painting.

A Visalia native, his kindergarten teacher inspired him, by picking him to paint a mural for parents' night.

Since then, he has pursued a life of art.  Ignacio is considered a portrait and figurine artist and has been described as a coorist.

His paintings show diversity in people and their cultural differences.

Ignacio's art will be showing at Cafe 225 in September and at Arts Visalia.
