PORTFOLIO
Hammer-Time
How amazing would it be to swim with sharks?! Unfortunately many of us do not have the knowledge to swim comfortably with the ocean creatures, so this conceptual piece represents being suspended from a diving cage to admire the beautiful creatures.
Tri-City Sturgeon
Inspired by an unforgettable fishing trip and the catch of a lifetime. Curious? Ask Santiago for proof, he has it!
Sauron
Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien and the fantasy genre...This piece is for you!
Balboa
The perfect combination of abstract mixed with realism and detail...The artists specialty. This rooster can hold his own in the ring!
Jack Frost
This is not the average tropical landscape painting of a sunset and a palm tree. This is Jack Frost's oasis and the contrast in this picture will leave you staring as if frozen.
The Calm Before the Storm
This ocean really shines in person, it almost comes to life. With a striking texture contrast from the clouds to the water, it proves that a picture can be beautifully simple.
Birds Eye
Creative picture representing the birds eye view. This sea bird is truly sailing fast!
Blackfish
Something is happening in our oceans and to the creatures that call it home. The Artists, being animal and nature lovers, chose to pay homage to the intelligent King of the Sea, the Orca.
Tick-Tock-Pan
A Peter Pan inspired resin painting with the Jolly Roger, Pixie Dust, and a beautiful dreamlike fantasy backdrop. Return to childhood and use your imagination to find the crocodile cloud. Tick-Tock! Captain Hook is on the run.
Lily of the Valley
Although this is not the actual lily of the valley flower, the name seemed fitting. A single white pond lily on a lake in the valley. Representative of Alaska as well as MN and the land of 10,000 lakes. Hint: Listen to Johnny Cash's song of the same name
'Merica Boar Hunt
Instead of giving up when this piece became challenging, Santiago continued and the emotion can be clearly felt. It is stunning to look at and reflects the frustration in the world today
Moby Wan Kenobi
This was the one that started the artists signature resin paintings. Because of this, the artist will always have a soft spot for this piece. Like the name suggests, the force is strong with this one.
Aviator
In 'Aviator', Santiago really showcases his aptitude for backgrounds and movement and Ruth's detail is clear, representing their talents equally.
The Man
This piece was inspired by a classic movie that both artists grew up with and love. They chose to recreate the iconic scene in their own style. Extra points to those who know what movie this is.
Sub Subtle
Santiago was able to accurately portray the feeling of stealth and a quiet calm, striking in its color and subtlety.
Ancient Future
This artwork was inspired by ancient history and future technology and the connection they have to each other. Santiago has always loved working with metal and different materials and this piece really showcases those passions.
Mother Superior
In this piece, the independent, strong, lone wolf is taking charge and creating her own world around her. It shows a fierce yet feminine nature at the same time, perfect for its recipient, a close family friend.
Tortuga
Made for a friend and his Tortuga ranch home, this artwork is amazing to look at just from the pouring elements alone. Only upon closer look can you notice the desert turtle overlooking his journey below. The picture is well balanced in its elements.
The Phoenix One
Who doesn't love a mystical and magical creature such as a phoenix, especially in its fire element!? This piece is done in one of the artists signature styles; detailed pours.
North Bear
Many artists will struggle from time to time finding inspiration. Sometimes, Santiago and Ruth will take an existing frame and use it as a promt; finding the color palette, vibe and subject matter to match.
Guppy
Sharks are normally scary and dangerous and are often portrayed in that manner. Here the artists chose to take a different route; it is fun, lively and beautiful to look at.
Rafiki
This masterpiece really shows the ingenuity and creativity Santiago often takes with incorporating the framing into the pictures. This unique idea is what really sets this picture in a different class.
Raven
Sometimes a picture seems simple, But it takes talent to make something look so effortless. This is one of the Artists favorite example of such.
Face Your Fears
Here Santiago was sudying form, shape and silhouette. The result was this beautiful abstract tangle with an amphibian or reptilian vibe.
Octive
Another study on silhouettes done by Santiago. Through color and general form, the artist shows a realistic picture doesn't have to be executed perfectly and can have a little abstractness to it.
