Santiago Paredes

Bio.

Santiago Paredes is known for using digital tools to create projected images that take shape on a variety of media and surfaces. In addition to his work in painting and digital art, Paredes has also ventured into fashion and design. His works are a fusion of different worlds that, although dissimilar, complement each other perfectly, revolving around the poetization of the every day, the use of color, simile, and the liminal space between art and design.

Paredes constructs complex scenes that contain multiple references, appropriations, and simulations, engaging in a dialogue with the history of images. Different interests such as Persian miniatures, Japanese printmaking, haute couture fashion, and pop culture are some elements that appear in his visual universe tinged with doubt.

In his work, Paredes manages to bring everything to the same level of importance, where there are no hierarchies and the representational clichés of art history are transformed under his watchful gaze into a raft to navigate the waters of contemporary transmodernity.
