About the Item

In this striking image, from Fidel Santos' Curtain Series, a dramatic and deeply aged carved curtain with elaborate folds, drapery, and detailed tassels is highlighted against a stark black background. Santos' love for crafting captivating tableaus infuses the image with drama and grandeur. The Baroque or Renaissance period carved polychrome curtain, meticulously depicted, serves as a testament to Santos's mastery. Through his lens, the curtain becomes more than just a decorative artwork, it elevates its surroundings into the artist's vision and adds a sense of deep elegance, drama, and emotion. 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
