Manuel Santelices Figurative Paintings

Chilean

Manuel Santelices is a Chilean artist and journalist living and working in New York for the last 20 years. After writing stories about style, design, art and politics for several magazines, including the Spanish editions of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Esquire, and being a fashion writer in New York for Vogue Mexico and Latin American for seven years, Santelices decided to focus his attention to illustration, painting mostly with watercolors the same characters and events he covered as a journalist.
