About This Work
Jordi Diaz Alama’s *Diaz Alama Portraits of Souls I–XVI 1* distils the artist’s figurative practice into a psychologically charged study of presence. Working with a painterly, gestural vocabulary, Diaz Alama builds the face through layered passages of pigment—alternating opacity and abrasion to produce a surface that feels both constructed and vulnerable. The composition resists anecdote in favour of interiority: features emerge, dissolve, and reassert themselves, suggesting identity as a shifting negotiation rather than a fixed likeness.
