The artist Pablo Santiago Romera, well known for his work in ceramics and industrial design, presented his latest project “Los huesos al sol: planos de transici\u00f3n” in the Art Gallery of Sacred. The exhibition has 23 pieces that represent, according to the artist, the internal erosion of the human being when it\u2019s influenced by an environment of economic stagnation and social deterioration.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My work reflects and represents what I\u2019m feeling, thats why it is a very special labor”, commented the artista.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a cozy atmosphere, those present were able to see in detail the three-dimensional works created in concrete and steel combinations that also explore the relationship of society with the buildings that surround it. The pieces were named in a peculiar way, relating and representing natural objects, such as flowers, with the materials used. Each piece is modern and aesthetically pleasing, and the guests showed their approval for the collection by expressing positive opinions aloud when visiting each station.<\/span><\/p>\n

The artist confessed to being satisfied with the project, which was born in 2014 and is dedicated to his wife and children. Santiago, besides being the author of several artistic collections, also owns Twin Dogs Co., an industrial design firm in San Juan, he\u2019s proud of what he has achieved so far and believes that he fulfilled in his work as an artist when people express the desire to acquire one of his artworks.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s incredible to see that the message of your work reaches beyond an exhibition, it reaches a home,” commented Santiago excitedly.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The artist also thanked Sagrado for giving him the opportunity to exhibit his art before everyone. On the other hand, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Mar\u00eda Teresa Mart\u00ednez, thanked Pablo Santiago for bringing the collection to the Gallery, one that seeks to expose more projects by Puerto Rican artists and highlight their importance in the development of the community. “We are very proud to have an artist like Pablo with us.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
