Through his unique and dynamic talents, Aziz Diagne, a self-taught multimedia artist, established himself as one of the premier contemporary glass painters.  Diagne has traveled extensively throughout Africa, Europe, and South America, absorbing the art and cultures of diverse environments.  These experiences have greatly enhanced Diagne's seemingly limitless repertoire and creative energy.

About the Work

Theissoise, reversed painting on glass, is a process that involves applying color to glass in the exact reverse process involved when painting on any other surface.  The process is a detailed and painstaking method as each color is applied separately.  Brushes and various other tools are used to give continuity, contrast, and texture to the finished work.  Rich in symbolism, Diagne's work captures the spirit and ambiance of the universal experience.

Other Mediums

Collagraph is a unique art in and of itself.  The artist has designed and developed a printing press that enables him to produce original collagraph print with multicolor in a single run.  The illustration is carved from various materials with an illustration board.  Due to the process of extreme pressure being applied in the making of the print, the plate has very limited use.  Each collagraph is an original.

 Additional mediums include watercolor, mixed media, and oil.
