About the Item

This striking photograph by Fidel Santos captures the haunting beauty of a weathered wall, where layers of peeling paint, like rings on a tree trunk, show the passage of time. The top layer, a rich teal blue, peels away to uncover earlier coats of gold and white. At the heart of the image, beneath the decayed surface, a rose bush appears, painted with delicate, vibrant roses, seemingly emerging from history itself, evoking the faded elegance of 18th-century Chinoiserie wall decor that was once a symbol of luxury across Europe. This ethereal detail hints at the once-vibrant past, blending the decay with a sense of enduring beauty. 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
