Olivia Torres Díaz (Havana, 1999) has a BA in Conservation of Cultural Heritage from the University of the Arts (ISA) since 2022. Around the age of 14 she arrived at the José Antonio Díaz Peláez Experimental Visual Arts Center and in 2018 she finished the specialty of painting at the San Alejandro National Academy of Fine Arts. Her work in painting deals especially with the figurative representation of landscapes.

She was selected in the First Call for Proposals Program Fondo de Arte Joven 2023 to receive support in the production of her project Ataraxia, a series that includes painting and sound installation in twelve landscape miniatures on large canvases. It represents a confluence between two conceptual lines: nostalgia for places visited outside Cuba and the achievement of imperturbability, a state of mind associated with ataraxia, as well as a reinterpretation of the dimension of memory and a sound atmosphere to support the experience.

The Youth Art Fund (YAF) supports the Ataraxia project with the acquisition of materials for the production of the series of pieces that make up the exhibition, in addition to the accompaniment and methodological advice from the YAF team.
