Enrique Díaz Rodríguez nació en Sevilla en 1932. Entre sus primeros recuerdos de niñez están las visitas al campo de concentración donde su padre es recluido en 1937, y las tardes de juegos en un patio tarifeño junto al jazmín de la abuela. Hacia 1946 su familia emigra a Madrid. Allí se forma como delineante proyectista, oficio que desempeñará hasta su prejubilación en 1990, cuando la empresa de camiones Pegaso donde trabajaba es vendida a IVECO. Compartió vida familiar con Amelia Martínez, y tuvieron dos hijos y dos hijas. Desde la lucha clandestina antifranquista de los sesenta, Enrique ha sido militante activo del sindicato UGT y del PSOE, tanto en Madrid como en Tarifa, donde reside. Desde 2010, cuando la vida le imprime peaje en su salud física y psíquica, Enrique ha vuelto al dibujo, al paisaje invisible interior que pide salir a través de la tinta y del agua colorida de su pincel. Esbozos, tanteos, incursiones, huidas, reencuentros y recorridos intensos.
Enrique Díaz Rodríguez was born in Seville in 1932. His first childhood memories include visits to the concentration camp where his father was imprisoned in 1937, and afternoon games in Tarifa, near grandmother's jasmine. His family migrated to Madrid around 1946. There he trained as a technical draughtsman. He exercised this profession until he was subjected to a permanent layoff in 1990, when Pegaso, the lorry firm he worked for, was sold to IVECO. He shared a family life with Amelia Martínez and they had two daughters and two sons. Since the clandestine struggle against Franco in the sixties, Enrique has been an active militant of the trust union UGT and the PSOE party, both in Madrid and in Tarifa, where he lives now. From 2010, with more impending demands from his physical and mental health, Enrique has gone back to drawing, to the inner invisible landscape that claims to come out through the coloured ink and water of his paint-brush. Drafts, guessworks, inroads, escapes, re-encounters and intense journeys.
