About This Work
In *Diaz Alama: Portraits of Souls I–XVI*, Jordi Díaz Alama distils the portrait into an arena of psychological intensity and contemporary cultural reflection.

Each head becomes a study in presence rather than likeness: fractured planes, charged colour, and emphatic brushwork evoke memory, identity, and the shifting masks of selfhood.
