Fidel Santos
Caos de Yeso

2023

About the Item

The photograph depicts a weathered, white wall with the remnants of an ornate plaster scrollwork design. Most of the wall is flaking and disintegrating, revealing the harsh effects of time. Yet, a portion retains a stunningly beautiful scrolling foliage pattern, a delicate reminder of past craftsmanship. The image captures a fleeting moment before this strikingly beautiful design is lost forever to time. Fidel Santos is a contemporary artist whose work is profoundly influenced by the rich tapestry of Old Master, Baroque, and Renaissance art. Drawing inspiration from these classical periods, Santos skillfully weaves a visual narrative that transcends time. His artistic repertoire is characterized by a meticulous exploration of iconography and symbolism, echoing the traditions of the past while infusing them with a modern sensibility. Through his art, Santos invites viewers on a journey into the realms of allegory and metaphor, where each stroke is a thoughtful homage to the mastery of bygone eras. Fidel Santos seamlessly blends classical techniques with contemporary perspectives and creates evocative artworks that resonate with historical depth and contemporary relevance. *This work is a photograph and not a sculpture
