Description
Oscar Santasusagna | Spain
For Oscar Santasusagna art is a simultaneous reflection of its context as well as the actor that rebounds it’s effect. Paintings are vehicles for storytelling, sharing messages, or evoking memories. A work that does not intrigue, move, or simply change the viewer in any small way could just be a technical exercise as beautiful as it is empty. The narrative nature of Santasusagna’s work harmonises painting and writing into something new. The universe of each composition is accompanied by a reflective title seen as an invitation to observe and enter the scene.
