Diego Sanchez- Maitret’s work blends human, animal, and plant forms to create fantastical beings that reflect the interconnectedness of life. Through his sculptures, he invites us to explore the symbolic journey of the soul, beginning and ending in the ocean.
Currently based in Puebla, Mexico, Diego works from his studio as well as several ceramic and bronze welding ateliers scattered throughout the city. Instagram @diexico

iexico is a place born from the imagination, where every piece represents a unique being that resides within it. Each sculpture is an artistic rendering of Diexico's inhabitants. Spiritus Mari features a vibrant sea of marine life, blending faunal, floral, and human elements into fantastical oceanic beings.
Diego’s Spiritus Mari collection opens a window into a dreamlike sea realm, composed of reef-like structures and the ecosystems they sustain. The concept behind the collection suggests that all souls begin their journey into our world through the sea, alluding to a cycle that starts and ends in the ocean.
