Diego de la Rosa

✨Opening announcement! 👹 Tomorrow, June 4, from 6–10 PM, I’ll be presenting one of my works alongside a fantastic roster of artists in celebration of the opening of , a new creative space for artists and makers in Toronto.
This initiative comes at a particularly important moment, as artists across the city are finding it increasingly difficult to access affordable spaces where they can create, experiment, and develop their practice. The Artist Studios is helping foster a much-needed environment for creativity, community, and artistic growth.
Join us for an evening of art, conversation, laughter, and celebration as we welcome this exciting new space to Toronto’s cultural landscape. I hope to see you there!

“Miracle Jaguar” depicts a scene of resilience and spirituality in the midst of chaos. The painting is foregrounded by two characters: a Venezuelan man wearing. worn down clothes and a Jaguar. The background reveals a desolated landscape: the consequence that come with the illegal mining that has destroyed the Venezuelan land in recent years.
The Jaguar’s appearance is embellished with symbols that allude to spirituality and political salvation. These characteristics, alongside the basket filled with bread flour and cassava, transform the animal into an entity of goodness and salvation that brings hope into a hopeless situation.

Venezuelan in Toronto
Oil and acrylic on panel
6 x 8 inches
2026
This painting is part of my series The Wanderers, exploring the psychological effects of migration within Venezuela’s diaspora. The painting presents a symbolic portrait of a Venezuelan expat as a bearer of culture and memory within a new society.
Set in a hybrid landscape merging Toronto’s northern flora with Venezuela’s tropical tones, the figure wears references to llanero and Andean traditions, while horns inspired by the Devils of Yare evoke national folklore. White corn and sugarcane signify culinary heritage, and the broom he carries references the manual labor many migrants take on upon arrival, affirming dignity, resilience, and cultural continuity

El Diablito 👹 🐖
Oil and acrylic on panel
8 × 10 in
2026
This oil painting was inspired by the quiet transformation of memory in migration, and how the mundane becomes sacred.
For Venezuelans, a simple can of Diablitos (deviled ham), once ordinary, now holds the weight of longing. Like ancient cultures who deified what they valued, this work imagines a small, playful god born from nostalgia and cultural celebration.
