Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a striking facial profile with a prominent eye depicted in earthy tones of gray, ochre, and blue. The composition utilizes a combination of textural elements, from the rough, sketch-like quality of the drawing to the hints of collage materials. The overall style and technique evoke a sense of surrealism, blending the representational with the abstract. Given the enigmatic yet contemplative nature of the piece, it seems to invite the viewer to ponder the artist's intention, which may explore themes of identity, perception, or the subconscious. ...

Artist
Curtis Talwst Santiago
B.1979, Trinidadian/Canadian

Curtis Talwst Santiago is a multimedia artist of Trinidadian origin whose work is centered on the diasporic experience, transculturalism, and memory. Key to Santiago’s oeuvre is the idea of entanglements shaping the consciousness of the postcolonial condition. A singer, performer and musician, he reconnects with music as part of an identity that is transmitted from one generation to the next. Santiago is best known for his miniature dioramas, which recreate personal stories, shed light on underrepresented histories, or serve as creative retellings of violent-catastrophic events that are inherent to the struggle of the black diaspora. Yet, an equivalence can be found between Santiago’s dioramas and his canvases in that both portray interpersonal relationships. Curtis Talwst Santiago was the recipient of the Hnatyshyn Foundation Mid-Career Award for Excellence in Visual Arts in 2024 and has a show coming up at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA), Costa Mesa, CA in 2026. He currently lives in Munich, Germany. ...
