About Me

A native Floridian, Glenda Santiago is now living in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. She studied at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and received her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from Florida International University in Miami. She is now exploring her artistic career in Puerto Rico. With a minor in Art History, she studied the techniques developed by the Baroque and Expressionist painters and uses them to create a psychological tension in her work.
"For me to express my complex issues and ideas, I need to reduce them to a simplified concept, or metaphor. I then paint them in a way that is straight forward using bold and arbitrary color to convey states of mind. With the use of color, I pull the viewer into the painting through my expressions of the universals of life, as I discover them. These universals are filtered through my own unique life experiences and then interpreted through my artistic technique, creating a way for my life and my art to coexist.
