HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: MICKI DIAZ
“The Magician”
Micki Diaz is a recent art school grad from Sarasota, raised in Miami, who is currently living in NYC. Micki aims to make work that is loud, whimsical, and familiar. In ‘The Magician’, he created a new image for the Magician Tarot card using both the icons associated with the card as well as icons associated with entertainment type magicians. As a little kid, he loved magicians and as he grew older, he fell in love with Tarot. This piece is the center of that love. He wanted this piece to feel alive in order to captivate the audience’s attention and he wanted it to feel like an entire world you could observe with details in every corner, this piece is the ultimate homage to trick magicians and Tarot lovers and definitely embodies the theme of magic.
