The artist intends for his viewers to contemplate their place in the world and feel a sense of smallness when looking at his paintings. Diaz uses a variety of landscapes in his work to encourage this self-reflection, allowing the viewer to "look in on themselves and what their place is in this grand scheme outdoors.” This vastness, communicated through nature, is a key element in encouraging reflection on one's position within the larger world.
