Biography

Salvador Díaz is a visual artist whose work in contemporary painting investigates the intersections of written language, collective memory, and the emotional architecture of historical narratives. His practice centers on the critical examination of how media and language shape the ways societies remember, grieve, and construct identity.

He is currently a professor at the University of Monterrey (UDEM) and a member of the National System of Art Creators (FONCA, 2022–2025). His academic background includes a Bachelor’s in Philosophy and Humanities and a Master of Arts from the Autonomous University of Nuevo León.

Over the last two decades, his work has been exhibited at the International Art Fairs of Contemporary Art and is part of private collections in 29 cities around the world between America and Europe, the CGAC museums in Santiago de Compostela and MAS Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Santander and Cantabria, in Spain.

Díaz lives and works in Monterrey, where he continues to develop projects that bridge artistic practice, social engagement, and critical inquiry.
