Luis Diego Rigales (he/him) is a latino artist based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico working in a mixed-media approach consisting of sculpture, performance art, furniture, dance, and design.
He hopes to create dialogue between masses we call furniture and our own bodies in space. He is interested in refocusing ourselves within our physical bodies and thus our perception of comfortability in space and body. His artwork is both fantastical yet technical.
He holds a bachelor in architecture from The University of New Mexico, has worked for the Georgia O’keeffe Museum’s Art and Leadership Program, MASS Design Group.
