About This Work
In *The Frieze of Souls II*, Jordi Diaz Alama extends his contemporary figurative practice into a compressed procession of bodies—part mural, part mythic tableau.

Diaz Alama’s painterly technique—layered brushwork, shifting tonal passages, and incisive contour—creates a sense of movement suspended between emergence and dissolution.
