SANTIAGO MONTOYA STUDIO

At one point I decided I wanted to paint because it was the biggest challenge I thought I could face, I thought I could put it in front of me. Eventually after over 10 years of exploration to find a formal structure for my art, I came across the idea of using money to paint... And then from there, all the content of what I wanted to explore came together. I am the type of artist that likes and think that it's relevant, how you present the art, how you seduce the viewer to come into this conversation... Humor is part of the bait because, well, I guess everybody likes to have a laugh, but then when you understand you're laughing at something that's serious, the bottom of it is not funny at all.
