Community Project

Pintura Viva – Comunidad de Río Grande . COBAO No. 25
Santiago Ydáñez carried out a workshop project with 15 young people from COBAO n.25 of Río Grande’s community. This project talked about color and matter from in its most playful and pleasant side: the game and the deposit of matter “automatically and randomly.” In the end, a collective picture was made but giving free rein to the game, improvisation, and randomness. The result of this game is a piece that will stay in the school itself.

Paint is an Opaque Mirror
According to the work of Santiago Ydáñez
Paint is an opaque mirror in which reality is reflected by the hand and the gize of the painter. Conceived in this way, the painting in a tool becomes ductile, malleable, flexible and against reality, much more in this contemporary reality where the images live in complete harmony, while their contents or solemnize demystify. Established reflecting the promiscuity of pictures with my reality coexist in Western, post-modern, neo-baroque, iconographic and iconoclastic, is what I try to do the painting Santiago Ydáñez. Therefore, if refractory status allows the luxury of mixing catholic virgins with topless nordic tourists, burnt forest with snow-capped mountains, stuffed animals with hunting dogs, costume festivities with sculptures of saints, or exotic animals loaded with ugliness and rarity with the strange beauty of insects, birds and shellfish … all images that lives in a world of dreams, nightmares and shocking flashes where reality lives.
