Symbolism, sensuality, expressionism, play and hybridisation are topics frequently featured in Santiago Martínez Peral's body of work which covers an extensive range of pictorial typologies. He considers Art not only as a form of expression, but an opportunity to study the subject on which he is working. A means of understanding the reality that surrounds us and that everything in it, is subject to be represented. His images are nourished by nature and its inexhaustible source of wonders, from Art history, from Antropology and from memory. The main subject of his painting is the body. Human bodies, animal and vegetal. Martinez Peral approaches the classical genres of painting with a renovating intention and understands that creation must involve an exhaustive study of the inherited tradition and at the same time be an act of maximum freedom. Working through fragmentation he gives rise to a new coherence transformed into unexpected and unusual images.
