Charlton Diaz lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Their interest in film and visual art began through making comparisons with dance choreography and film editing. They also acted in home videos and skateboarding videos made by their brothers at a young age. They self-trained through observing music videos and then performing at school and local talent shows. This led to professional work in live performance, music videos, and art film. Diaz’s goal in creating art is to honor and celebrate the inner world and also to find new ways to translate and share imagination and emotion in hopes of allowing others to look inside and see value in their own world.
