Santana reflects on her artistic journey, emphasizing her goal to erase traditional depictions and celebrate individuality. This exhibition invites viewers to rethink the concept of identity in the modern digital landscape, where chaotic influences shape artistic expression and understanding of the human body as a transformative entity.
In my early years, I learned to paint the female form based on traditional imagery. The goal was to erase the memory of those depictions and construct a new image, one that celebrates change and individuality.
Her paintings reinterpret the body as a fluid, evolving entity-a site of constant becoming. Vibrant hues, bold strokes, and layered textures invite viewers to consider how identity is shaped and reshaped by the digital ecosystem.
