Anatomy of Sorrow

Anatomy of Sorrow is the latest monograph by prolific and influential artist Daniel Martin Diaz, exploring a new depth of symbolism, mysticism and surreal iconography depicted in paintings, drawings and prints.

Through his application of a limited palette on distressed wood, his handmade wooden frames, and his expressive use of Latin text, Daaz's images thrust us into another time and place.
