Jorge Luis Diéguez
Peruvian Photographer and Cinematographer based in London.

I am Jorge Luis Diéguez, a Peruvian-born artist currently based in London. I grew up in Lima, a densely populated and largely unplanned city characterised by architectural incoherence, which fostered in me an appreciation for forms and patterns that often appear disjointed or fragmented. Lima’s unique aesthetic and complex urban fabric influence my work, driving my practice through a fascination with abandoned and disrupted landscapes, through which I investigate the social and environmental tensions arising from land appropriation and mass human displacement.

The desert landscape surrounding Lima served as a constant backdrop throughout my upbringing; an expansive, largely untouched space that evokes a sense of purity through sustained observation. This vast terrain has offered me opportunities for deep self-reflection and continues to inform the meditative and spatial qualities of my work.

I hold degrees in Cinematography and Architecture, both of which have significantly informed and shaped my artistic practice, as well as a Master’s degree in Photographic Studies.

My work has been exhibited and published, and it is part of the Jan Mulder Collection.
