Mo Diaz
Began custom painting in 2000
About the Artist:
Mo’s style is all about bold metal flake and lowrider-inspired patterns, bringing that West Coast vibe to the East Coast. He loves having the freedom to create with no limits and seeing the excitement his work brings to people—it’s a dream come true to make a living doing what he loves.
Artistic Inspiration:
Growing up watching custom painters, he was inspired by the creativity and skill of the artists, particularly those in California. The quality of their work sparked a desire in him to bring similar West Coast styles to the East Coast, where he hadn’t seen the same level of artistry. His motivation stems from that vision and his love for the craft, and he feels fortunate to be able to support his family by doing what he truly loves.
Favorite Tropical Glitz Product:
Mo says his favorite Tropical Glitz products showcase his bold and vibrant style: he loves our Miami Beach, Seductive Cherry, and Shifty's Sunrise Sparkle colors, along with our signature candy concentrates.
Special Achievements:
Mo’s custom painting work has received numerous awards over the years, with notable recognitions including two Lowrider Trike of the Year awards and three Lowrider Bike of the Year awards, each celebrated with Best Paint and Best Graphics distinctions. In 2016, his remarkable artistry earned him the esteemed House of Kolor Painter Award. These achievements underscore Mo’s commitment to quality and his exceptional skill in crafting award-winning, visually striking custom paintwork.
