Jordi Díez Fernández (Spain)

Jordi Díez Fernández was born in Valladolid on 5 March, 1966. He currently lives and works in Centelles (Barcelona). In 1989, he opened his first workshop in Fresnedillas de la Oliva (Madrid). There, isolated for three years, he set up the sculptural concept of his work. Figurative expression, especially the human figure, is the axis on which his work revolves. In the different stages of his career, he used all the materials of his profession: stone, iron, wood and terracotta. For Jordi Díez, these materials are the prelude to working exclusively on stainless steel, a metal in which he finds the expressive potential he needs to shape his works, leaving behind the discourse of the virtuous representation of the surface to give way to the interior, to the inner energy. In his sculptures, he finds himself fully immersed in the presence of the hollow, the void, the deconstruction of the surface, the “less is more”. Thus, Jordi Díez uses the metal strictly necessary to imprison the air that contains the form, reaching a degree of synthesis and lightness that only enhances the expression and the feeling of being in front of a reality that underlies the tangible reality. His work can be found all over the world in museums, temples, public areas, and private collections. nContact Infon
