Early life and education

Rosana Castrillo Diaz was born in Sama de Langreo, Asturias, Spain. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Complutense University of Madrid and an additional BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Work

Castrillo won the SECA Art Award from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art[2] in 2004 and Artadia Art Award, in [3] 2005. She is represented by Anthony Meier Fine Arts in San Francisco.[4]

Themes

Diaz produces graphite-on-paper drawings, wall relief sculptures, and installations primarily in monochromatic all-white. In her work, she investigates invisibility, the everyday, solidity and immateriality.[5]

Exhibitions

Her work has been exhibited at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts and The Drawing Center.[4] In 2009, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art commissioned Diaz to create a mural, Untitled (162 in. x 1101 in./ 411.48 cm x 2796.54 cm ), funded by a gift of Robert and Claudia Allen and the Mary Heath Keesling Fund. Using mica, Diaz painted the window-facing wall of the bridge to take advantage of the light flooding into the glass-walled corridor.[6]
