Ana Lida Diaz

Ana Lida Díaz is one of the most renowned visual artists in Panama, her native country (b. 1968), thanks to a career that began in 1982 and has led her to participate in multiple charity auctions and individual and collective exhibitions in Panama and abroad.

The plurality of adjectives that can be used to tell the stories of her body of work is as varied as the techniques she masters and the topics she has explored; ranging from the timeless charcoal, the elegant pastel, and the elusive watercolor to the modern acrylic and the classic oil; techniques with which she has portrayed the human figure, serene landscapes, the ancient facades of the Casco Antiguo overflowing with bougainvillea, and objects that play with volumes, reflections, and movement with absolute skill.


Since 2009, her work has stood out thanks to the combination of the subtle simplicity of
sober composition, respectful attention to realistic detail, and the intelligent use of color, light, and shadows.

In her most recent work, Ana Lida Díaz takes us on a journey through a world where
everyday objects come to life from a different perspective. With great technical mastery, she reveals silent stories told through the reflections of her metallic spheres, the brightness of mirrors, and the secrets held by an ancient padlock. Each meticulously expressed detail and each carefully crafted reflection invites us to marvel at the hidden beauty in the mundane.
Díaz reminds us that true magic lies in paying enough attention to our surroundings, being
able to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
