Rolando Diaz was born in Havana, Cuba and travels internationally with his art. Diaz believes that, "art is an expression of life". Everything we see, feel, touch, smell and hear, in one way or another, become part of the images expressed on the canvas. A documentary about Diaz titled “Recapturing Cuba” has been released. The film won two awards at the Sundance File Festival and has been an inspiration to many people. Diaz has exhibited in museums, galleries and private homes, while maintaining a solid collector's list.
