Doraines R. Diaz
My love for art began with my mother, an architect in Cuba, whose passion for craftsmanship inspired me. After moving to Miami, its lively art scene deepened my desire to create, but it was during high school, under the mentorship of CPWON (Claudio Picasso), that I truly found my path. Assisting him with street art projects in Miami cemented my commitment to art’s transformative power. Now, as a BFA student in graphic design, I continue to explore new mediums, each one broadening my understanding of art. My journey is defined by constant growth and the pursuit of connecting diverse artistic expressions.
