About the Item
In Fidel Santos' photograph, Pedro de San José Betancur, the artist looks towards a representation of a worn but otherwise stoic figure. The composition focuses exclusively on the saint's head in an upward gaze, creating a powerful visual impact.
Santos' intentional cropping of the artwork eliminates background distractions, drawing attention solely to the saint. This minimalist approach emphasizes the simplicity and intensity of the emotional experience, making the subject's expression the focal point.
Santos' use of color and texture may evoke the classical qualities of Renaissance sculpture, giving the artwork a timeless and elegant feel without explicitly delving into religious themes.
Pedro de San José Betancur, known as the “Saint Francis of the Americas,” Pedro de Betancur is the first saint to have worked and died in Guatemala.
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.
