Fidel Santos
Cielo - Big Bang

2019

About the Item

In "The Big Bang," Fidel Santos unveils a celestial fresco hidden beneath layers of chipping paint. This mixed media masterpiece captures the most dramatic moment in the heavens, symbolizing the fragility of time and the inevitable decay of all things. Santos, known for documenting and preserving religious artifacts, uses enhanced photography to immortalize his work, emphasizing the transient beauty within decay. 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.
