Diago León Lang (Oh_Dingi) was born in La Ciudad Habana in 1999 and immigrated to Miami as a child. He creates narrative-driven visual projects across animation, drawing, and artist books, exploring solipsism, economic precarity, and the deconstruction of identity under Western norms. Whether through characters drifting in pixelated oceans or zines unraveling mental collapse, he builds spaces where others might see their own reflections.

Lately, he's been exploring multidisciplinary and community-based art through collaboration, working with musicians to enhance their performances with concept art. He is a 2025 Miami Light Project Here and Now commissioned artist, co-creating a performance on identity with his partner, Nicole Pedraza. In December 2024, he was commissioned by The Peace Studio to paint a mural at Pridelines main location. The mural represents the themes of community and trust, inspired by gestural drawings from movement workshops led by Nicole featuring musicians Dani Amaro and Diego Melgar and tech artist Trish Gutierrez.
