Taos Plaza Art - Santiagos in Taos

THANK YOU FOR VISITING SANTIAGO'S GALLERY AND TAOS PLAZA ART.

EVERY POSTED PIECE OF FINE ART IS AVAILABLE FOR 'PRINT ON DEMAND,' EVEN THE ONES MARKED SOLD.

TAOS PLAZA ART features the palette knife fine art oil paintings of Santiago Chavez who has painted New Mexico scenes for the past 30 years. Santiago's palette knife strokes cre­ate brilliant colors in a style that evokes both passion and emotion. For the past five years, Chávez has devoted his art to what he calls “The American Trails Collection.” To date, Chávez has painted scenes in California, Nevada and Northern New Mexico.

At Santiago’s Gal­lery, extensive works from Santa Rosa, Santa Fe and Taos are displayed. Much of his art reflects an impressionis­tic flare. Self­ taught, his work is origi­nal and ruggedly natural. Pen and inks, pencil portraits, abstracts that seem to explode in rugged colors are also part of his varied styles.

SANTIAGO CHAVEZ has been recognized by the Governor of New Mexico and the Ambassador from Spain for his rugged, primitive and individualistic visions of west and southwest landscapes and portraits. Reminiscent of the old west painters in the 1800s, Santiago captures depth and light without using a brush. His works are masculine, detailed expressions of the passion that emanates from deep within him. Sometimes impressionistic, other times primitive and simple, his work creates a connection that draws you back time and again to reflect, examine and feel.
