Raúl Díaz was born in 1952 in Córdoba, Argentina. In 1990, he moved to Unquillo in the province of Córdoba, where he continues to live and produce his art. Although Díaz studied architecture, he could not avoid the overwhelming calling he had within himself to be a painter. Self-taught, Díaz has emerged as one of Argentina's most prominent artists. Since 1995, he has participated in National and International Art Fairs, and in numerous group exhibitions in Argentina and abroad. He has had individual exhibitions in Córdoba, Buenos Aires, the United States, Holland, Spain and Italy. He has also received important awards, including the Grand Prize from the National Painting Salon of the Pro-Arte Foundation, Córdoba (1990). In 2005, he held a solo exhibition at the Sivori Museum of Plastic Arts in Buenos Aires, and in 2010, Díaz had a solo exhibition at the Emilio Caraffa Museum in Córdoba. His works are found in important private and museum collections in the countries where he has exhibited his works.
