Brisbane artist J Valenzuela Didi draws on the emergence of patterns and geometric shapes to explore common scenes and signposts of modern life.  In his paintings, familiar urban landscapes become haunting and alien reminders of the beauty and character of the present-day.

J has been a finalist and prize-winner in several prestigious art prizes including the Gold Coast Art Prize, Black Swan Prize for Portraiture, Sunshine Coast Art Prize, Redland Art Awards, Border Art Prize and the Publishers Cup Prize. J was awarded the Best of Show prize in the Brisbane Rotary Art Spectacular 2015.
