One of the adjectives that could be attributed to the work of Juan Díaz-Faes is the “horror vacui” so characteristic of his swirling characters. The concept of Horror Vacui (fear of emptiness) was not born in the world of art but in the world of philosophy and science. In the Baroque, Horror Vacui came to be considered a style and was a key element in architecture, literature, sculpture and music. It was created to “defeat” the void. The best examples are found in Baroque churches, Byzantine luxury art, Islamic decoration, Rococo and Victorian interior design.
