About the Item

This stunning photograph by Fidel Santos captures an ornate Baroque hand-carved scrolling filigree, a lone remnant of a once-great sculpture. As a testament to the incredible talents of the artisans of the period, this decorative element showcases intricate craftsmanship that has withstood the test of time. Cracked, aged, and weathered, it exudes a beauty that resonates with the passage of years, each imperfection standing as a reminder that soon, over time, this photograph will be all that remains of this beautiful carving. 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
