Artist Profile
Eddie Santillan
Eddie is a self-taught artist whose raw talent has been enhanced by his keen
curiosity and the unique way he views the world. With a high degree of
skills, he was able to produce very elaborate and detailed pieces of art. His
personal growth is manifested in the evolution of his art works. Starting as a
portrait artist, he has produced work for a number of celebrities, art patrons
and politicians. He has supported the art scenes and other artist through his
active involvement in art festivals and exhibits.
In his journey as an artist, he dabbled in the Filipino tradition of Social
Realism as well as embracing Photo Realism. There is also an element of Art
Nouveau, along with the highly decorative and mystical styles of artists like
Gustav Klimt. There is also an interest in the art of the Middle East and the
work of the Indian masters during the Indian Mughal Empire.
At present, armed with an expanded view of the world and a deeper
understanding of people’s interconnectedness with each other and with all
elements, his artwork shifts to non- representational/abstract. It depicts the
fluidity of time and relationships as well as the structure that binds the
elements together. His latest works speak of his life experiences. It’s a
building of one layer of image after another. These layers overlap, never
really leaving the past behind but always looking forward to the future while
being enchanted with the reality of the present. The candor with which he
embraces life is translated in the transparency evidenced in his art.
The history of his art works is closely tied to the history of his life.
