About the Item
Fidel Santos' evocative photograph, L'occhio di Dio, captures a stunning polychromed carving of the All-Seeing Eye, radiating golden beams of light against a stark black background. This aged and fragmented artifact, with its cracked and weathered surface, embodies the passage of time while preserving its spiritual and symbolic power. The All-Seeing Eye has deep historical roots, originating in ancient Egypt as the Eye of Horus, a symbol of protection and divine wisdom. In Christian iconography, it represents God's omniscience, watching over humanity, while in Freemasonry, it serves as an emblem of the Great Architect of the Universe, signifying higher knowledge and guidance. Santos, known for his dedication to capturing relics of the past before they are lost, masterfully links this piece to the grandeur of Baroque religious art, where light, symbolism, and divine presence were central themes. This photograph is not just an image but a meditation on faith, history, and the beauty of decay.
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.
