Born in Alcoy, Alicante, Spain in 1948, Diaz studied in the Fine Arts School in Valencia where he achieved brilliant results. His unique, impressionistic landscapes are softly portrayed with delicate colors that intone light’s subtle reflections. Each of his paintings captures his personality and realism.

For his subjects, Diaz usually travels to find inspiration in nature’s landscape. He prefers to paint in a relaxed style, portraying the life of his native Spaniards.  Diaz states that he is full of human virtue and does not want to create paintings that have a calculated attitude.

His paintings can be found in galleries and private collections throughout Spain and the United States. Ventura Diaz has obtained many Spanish prizes, including the coveted National Honor of Madrid in 1965.
