The maritime paintings of his father, the canoe trips in Barra de São João or the cameras presented by his two grandmothers based his imaginary.

ABOUT THE WORK AND THE ARTIST

José Diniz puts us as observers adrift at sea – where the paths are, by nature, undefined. A subjective point of view of who floats, and the Sea blend into the sky at the time water hits the lens. And mix a little in the images that refer us the sensation that we experience when we fell asleep in the sand; When the waves are our thoughts; When we exist in the coming and going of the senses. In aporia that is the sea there's no roads until we decide to invent them. The series is an artistic Exercise.

José Diniz (1954), Niterói-RJ, did her graduate studies in photography at the University Cândido Mendes-RIO DE JANEIRO and attended courses in MAM-Rio, EAV Parque Lage and image Workshop. Published the book "Literarily" and the Collectanea "Carioca SAHARA" and "back-and-forth". Participated in individual and collective exhibitions in Brazil and abroad. In 2013 He was appointed by the British Journal of Photography as "Ones to Watch in 2013"; In 2012 was awarded with the prize Funarte Marc Ferrez photography and in 2011 He participated in the III International Biennial Discoveries in Houston-Texas where Trustees of FOTOFEST chose 12 new photographers in several countries during 2010/2011.
