Pablo Diartinez (1976, Córdoba, Spain) is a multifaceted artist who has honed his craft across a wide range of disciplines developing an eclectic array of works and styles in his professional career. He began studying Music as a child (Superior Conservatory of Córdoba) yet discontinued his studies as a teenager to enrol in Arts & Crafts (Mateo Inurria School of Art). He later graduated in Fine Arts (University of Seville) as well as in Graphic Design (University of Granada), then in Film Direction (Sint-Lukas Brussel) and lastly in Transmedia Arts (Sint-Lukas Brussel). As such, he is skilled in a variety of media, including Drawing, Traditional Painting, Digital Painting and Photo Manipulation.
His ability to integrate classic and new media allows him to create pieces that are both timeless and cutting-edge, from Digital Collages (blending graphics and paint with photography) to figurative realistic Oil Paintings. His work often explores love, loss, desire and self-discovery with a particular emphasis on Portraits and Identities.
He's an active member of the Meyboom Artist-run Spaces, a Brussels-based collective of artists of all disciplines. From there, together with his fellow filmmaker Erik Parys, they run Fusion Cinema, a film production organization. Mainly aimed to reconceive cinema (by claiming the screen anew — such as the early 20th-century avant-gardist movements faced the canvas anew), their still frames are also reconceived as an image more akin to a stand-alone painting than to a derivative photograph. Their ongoing flagship project, Pages of ALBUM, is a short film series that adapts poetry to the screen through motion graphics and live-action scenes.
Beyond authoring and collaborating in Arthouse, Fiction and Documentary productions, his audiovisual works span from Advertising Spots for broadcast tv and social media to Video Walls for installation artists and contemporary dance plays for companies such as Joji Inc and As Palavras. His most relevant film-related skills are Direction, Screenwriting, Editing, Storyboarding, 2D SFX & Compositing, Colour Grading, Rotoscopy, Hand-drawn & Keyframe Animation and Motion Graphics.
His Graphic Design skills involve Art Direction, Logo Design and Vector Art as well as Web and Print Production (Books, Leaflets, ...) creating visual Identity Systems for established museums and small cultural institutions alike. He also indulges his love for books and storytelling producing commissioned illustrations.
He has worked as a freelance specialist for companies such as ZN Consulting, Rose studio, Toast, Bonanza.tv, TRS, 2Frame, Media Facilities, latteCreative, Content Cowboys or AFP / Factstory and under C U studio, often in tandem with Erik Parys, provided film or design services to clients such as Del Monte, Rombouts, Lambrechts, Touring, Bikkembergs, United Telecom, Damiaan-actie, European Road Federation, VTM, Luminus & Rode Duivels, Cote D’Or, BASE, Ici Paris XL, Actimel (Danone), Kinepolis, CarpetRight, Artexis, Unibet, Snow (BASE), Oikos, CD&V, Studio100 - Bumba, Febelbin, Abbott Laboratories, Innoserve Research Group, Libelle, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Kind & Gezin, Center Parcs, Cofinimmo, the EUREKA network, the Instituto Cervantes, Brussels' Musical Instruments Museum, Brussels' Art & History Museum, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Coca-Cola Compay.
Despite his diverse range of interests and talents, Diartinez remains dedicated to sharing his knowledge and passion with others. He has taught and lectured on art, film, design and comics at academic institutions across Europe.
When he's not creating art or working on commissioned works, he can be found exploring his other passions such as singing on stage or reading the Tarot of Marseille, which serves as the inspiration for the self-portrait on this page.
