'Colour and form achieving a perfect communion ... like a mathematical progression.' - SANTIAGO MONTOYA
In carefully structured series, Santiago Montoya uses the aesthetics of materials to introduce meaning, resulting in collections where appearance and concept bear equal weight. He comments on a broad swathe of political issues, from conservation and dispossession to the transmission of information, aiming to uncover reality and bring to light the victory of the human spirit over adversity.
