Artist Statement:
Glenda Santiago is an
accomplished artist living in
Luquillo, Puerto Rico. She has
a Bachelor’s degree in Fine
Art from Florida International
University in Miami. With a
minor in Art History, she
studied the techniques
developed by the Baroque and
Expressionist painters
expanding on these techniques
she creates an interesting
psychological tension in her
own work.
“For me to express my complex
issues and ideas, I need to
reduce them to a simplified
concept, or metaphor. I then
paint them in a way that is
straightforward using bold and
arbitrary color to convey
states of mind. With the use
of color, I pull the viewer
into the painting through my
expressions of the universals
of life, as I discover them.
These universals are filtered
through my own unique life
experiences and then
interpreted through my
artistic technique, creating a
way for my life and my art to
coexist”.
