Diego Glazer

Guest Instructor

​Born in Omaha, Nebraska and raised in Querétaro, Mexico, Diego Glazer also has a Swiss nationality which exposed him to a variety of cultures from a young age. He is now an emerging artist who explores the never ending possibilities that oil painting offers to create ambiguous atmospheres, albeit tangible, frequently seeking a nostalgic vibe.

Diego took part in several workshops in Querétaro, including a painting course with Mexican realist painter Ramsés de la Cruz. He later studied visual arts at Instituto Allende, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where he learned an impressionistic method with Guillermo Guerrero, as well as other pictorial techniques. He then moved to Florence, Italy, where he completed the drawing and painting program at the Angel Academy of Art, learning nineteenth century academic methods. This proved to be essential in his journey as a figurative painter, and awoke in him a passion to transmit his vision of beauty.
​
Diego has had shows in Querétaro, San Miguel de Allende, and Mexico City. He also won second place in the Sant Angel Painting Biennial with his painting “Circumstances” He currently lives in Colorado, USA, and explores different genres of figurative painting including figure painting, landscape and still life.
