OSCAR DIAZ
Much of Oscar Diaz work is concerned with tweaking everyday objects or situations. Mixing influences from craft and technology, his approach is often multifaceted, investigative and playful, transforming the ordinary by challenging conventions. He studied Fine Art in Spain, Industrial Design at the École des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, and graduated with an MA in Product Design from the Royal College of Art in London.
