Jose Diaz AKA YucaKia

I am a 36 years old artist born in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Married with three children and active duty US Soldier. My passion for art started since I was like 7 years old. My uncle was a painter and illustrator artist. I used to seat down for hours just watching him working on diverse types of media. He was my first arts teacher and inspiration.

Throughout the years I have interested in all types of art and have tried to learn at least the basics of all I could. My favorite so far if photography. With photography is really a satisfaction when you can express a message and emotions that happens in a fraction of a second but its freeze for an indefinite time. Along with photography, my second favorite is digital media arts. It has change quite a bit since I can remember when I used to make collages of silhouettes using paint shop in the earlier versions of Windows 3.5. Now a day we can convert a dot into a spaceship with the software and technology that we have. Very interesting how far have we come when we look back and compare resources and media to work with. In the future I would love to have my own design company and printing services.
