Cesar Santos (b. 1982), Cuban-American.
His art education is worldly, and his work has been seen around the
globe, from the Annigoni Museum in Italy and the Beijing museum in China
to Chelsea NY. Santos studied at Miami Dade College, where he earned
his associate in arts degree in 2003. He then attended the New World
School of the Arts before traveling to Florence, Italy. In 2006, he
completed the Angel Academy of Art in Florence studying under Michael
John Angel, a student of artist Pietro Annigoni. [no-sidebar]
Santos’ work reflects both classical and modern interpretations
juxtaposed within one painting. His influences range from the
Renaissance to the masters of the nineteenth century to Contemporary
Art. With superb technique, he infuses a harmony between the natural and
the conceptual to create works that are provocative and dramatic.
Among Santos’ solo shows are “Syncretism” at Eleanor Ettinger Chelsea
Gallery in New York; “Beyond Realism” with Oxenberg Fine Arts in Miami
and “New Impressions” at the Greenhouse Gallery in San Antonio, among
many others.
The artist has received numerous accolades, including first place in a
Metropolitan Museum of Art competition, and he was recently presented
with the 2013 Miami Dade College Hall of Fame Award in Visual Arts. His
work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, Latin
America and Asia, including the Villa Bardini Museum in Florence and the
National Gallery in Costa Rica.
