How to recognise the work

Inner worlds coded as science fiction

Futuristic figures, cosmic settings and tightly drawn narrative details turn personal and emotional questions into speculative scenes.

  • Science-fiction figures
  • Cosmic settings
  • Graphic linework
  • Narrative detail

Science fiction as a personal code

Deih uses the representational language of science fiction not as decoration but as a way to approach personal truth, translating perception, relationships and inner dialogue into invented worlds.

Between wall and studio

Illustration, murals and studio work share the same narrative impulse. The scale may change, but densely composed figures and the tension between an individual and a larger system remain central.

A practice formed in Valencia

Deih identifies as an illustrator and mural artist from Valencia and dates his graffiti practice to the mid-1990s. Local institutional and exhibition records document that continuing relationship.

The best street art in Valencia: where to begin

The best street art in Valencia is not one permanent wall. Begin with El Carmen, compare the maritime streets of El Cabanyal, follow the Túria’s abstract route and learn a few visual languages before you walk.
