— BIO
Angela Santana is a Swiss artist based in New York City, known for her vibrant large-scale oil paintings. Her work examines the historical representation of the female body and its ongoing impact. Embracing the internet as her modern-day muse, she observes the rapid consumption of images online, questioning power structures and biases that shape and distort perception. Santana’s multifaceted experimental artistic process breaks from tradition, using the permanence of oil paint as an antidote to the fleeting nature of digital imagery. She deconstructs and reconfigures the classical form towards abstraction, while questioning the status quo.
Santana’s work has been featured widely in international press such as Artsy, Artnet, Vogue, ID, Wonderland, Novembre Magazine, Evening Standard, Service 95 as well as on the cover of Exit Magazine. Angela Santana’s works have been exhibited in shows across Europe, the United States and Asia as well as shown alongside masters such as Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin and Henry Taylor. Santana’s current solo show is on view now at Saatchi Yates London until February 22.
