Bio
Diego Medina is a Colorado-based photographer and visual artist whose work focuses on observation, place, structure, and the quiet details of everyday environments. His photographs examine the relationship between built spaces, rural landscapes, signage, roads, surfaces, and moments of stillness.

With a background in architecture, engineering, and construction, his photographic approach is shaped by an attention to composition, spatial relationships, and the built environment.

Alongside photography, Diego continues to develop a broader studio practice in design, painting, digital studies, and mixed media.

Thesis
I strive for perfection in the way I present my work. I have come to terms with the fact that perfect is unachievable and the road to perfection is what produces quality work. The quest for perfection is fuel, the destination for me has always been truth. Truth cannot be compromised. It is so. It has stood the test of time. It has no voice, no narrative. It stands as it is, without explanation. If truth is recognized, it can feel scary yet grounding. I find truth exists everywhere. The ultimate truth is found in nature.

If my piece can gesture towards an idea of truth then I feel content that my work as an artists has been completed.
