About

Buenos Aires-born, Miami-based Diego Alejandro Waisman is a visual artist that explores themes of social and economic displacement, exile, family, identity, and origins.

Much of his work revolves around the post-memories of his family’s diaspora and his journey as an immigrant to the United States.

He has received the Berkowitz Arts Foundation Scholarship, the Florida International University Visual Arts Scholarship as well as the Faena Curatorial Scholarship. He is the recipients of the 2022 Green Space grant, and an awardee of the 30th Emerald Coast National organized by the Northwestern Florida State College.

In 2024 he presented his work at Photoalicante, Spain and became finalist of the Pathways show organized by the UCF and Rollins Galleries. Some of his work can be found in the permanent collection of the Phillip and Patricia Frost Art Museum, as well as the Met Library, and other private collections.

He holds a degree in Computer Animation and Multimedia from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, a Studio Art degree from the University of Miami, and an MFA from Florida International University.
