By hand

The work of Diego Pujal is related to the world of keys and codes that arise from our interaction with this medium: in this regard, his paintings can be a tool, a key or an enigma. Diego Pujal Laplagne (1971) is a graduate of Art and Drawing of the Buenos Aires School of Fine Arts. His works speak of emptiness, of what exists in the frontier. And of how from emptiness - from the abyss - it is possible to construct objects, forms and signs. Because sometimes emptiness - the great void - signifies more than reality and overwhelms us. "Bidimensionality is a space remote from our corporality. It is a conceptual and communicative space par excellence. It acts as a key to a sector of our perception and our understanding”. He has held various individual and collective exhibitions in Argentina and Spain. Alongside Verónica Coulter he has produced the stage art of several operas: Il viaggio a Reims, Orfeo i Eurídice, Gaudí, L'elisir d'amore, Carmen, Manon, Death in Venice, Simon Boccanegra, Le nozze di Figaro and Salomé, staged at Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu and at various opera houses throughout the world. He is the resident artist at Hangar, Centre de Producció d’Art de Barcelona. The work of Diego Pujal is displayed in institutions such as the Provincial Council of Alicante, the Modern Art Museum of Tarragona, the Casa Nacional de Moneda, the Central Bank of Bolivia and the Irureta Museum, in Tilcara.
