Diaz Alama CANTO VII. The Avaricious

In *CANTO VII. The Avaricious*, Jordi Díaz Alamà channels the moral intensity of Dante’s *Inferno* into a contemporary, psychologically charged vision. Executed with virtuosic control, the composition suggests a turbulent choreography of bodies and drapery, where chiaroscuro and sculptural modeling heighten the sense of weight—both physical and ethical.

Díaz Alamà’s disciplined draftsmanship and painterly finesse lend the scene a cinematic immediacy, while layered tonal transitions create depth and unrest. The work reads as an allegory of desire’s distortion, confronting material obsession with visceral drama and enduring human relevance.

Jordi Diaz Alamà was born in Granollers in 1986, he graduated from the Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. He also trained at the classical art schools, such as the Florence Academy of Art (Florence) where he learned the techniques used by the great masters of 19th-century painting.

Jordi consolidated his training during a series of stays with contemporary masters of realism such as the Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum , Guillermo Muñoz Vera as well as Antonio López .
