About
Adam
Santana
A
native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Adam Santana made
a pilgrimage to England and Spain in his early 20's to explore
his cultural roots. While in Europe, he studied painting
and discovered the works and writings of Wassily Kandinsky
and the ideas of theosophy. Kandinsky's writings about the
spiritual in art became a strong influence in Santana's
approach to art-making. His recent paintings, reflecting
his love of Moorish architecture, celebrate the process
of "ecstatic vision" and the spiritual harmony of colors.
