Bio
Diego Felipe Torres (b. 1989) is a Colombian-American multidisciplinary artist working in drawing, painting, mixed-media collage, digital illustration, printmaking, photography, multimedia design, video, and sound.
He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2012 and was Artist-in-Residence at the Julio Valdez Printmaking Studio in New York City in 2014, the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture in Bogong, Australia in 2016, The Future Residency in Minneapolis in 2019, and 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica, CA in 2021.
He has received awards from CityMD, Tomie dePaola, AIGA Worldstudio, The National Society of Arts and Letters, Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and the Scholastic Art & Writing Gold Key in Computer Art.
He was an intern at The New Yorker in 2011 and The Norton Museum of Art in 2006.
His artwork has been commissioned by The New York Times, Datlook, The Indy, Mouth Agency, The Deal, and W42ST magazine, and been featured in the American Illustration and Latin American Ilustración annuals.
His work has been exhibited in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Thessaloniki, Greece, and Bogong, Australia.
His work explores the process of layering, accumulation, and removal as an investigation on anxiety, obsession, desire, transformation, healing, and regeneration, as well as the reimagining of place and its effects on the individual in the search of escapism or a better space or view, as depicted through the plays of layering, concealment, entrapment, and release; secrecy and revelation; relocation and wanderlust; and ritualistic intimacy.
His work is influenced by symbolism, expressionism, existentialism, the coming-out process, travel, and the themes and mood of avant-garde/post-punk music, as well as by the relationship of rendering and revealing, covering and erasing, and concealing and releasing.
