BIO

Santo Martin is an inter-media artist who is an ardent believer in the integration of the arts. Santo is a painter, installation and performance artist.

“My identity as an artist is rooted in the fact that my talents are disparate and constantly evolving.  I have been promiscuous with the use of materials, medium and modes of execution.   My modes of expression range from painting to opera, installations, drawing, designing, sewing and voice.” 

Also a classically trained singer Santo has performed in numerous stage productions and has collaborated with artists of varying disciplines.
Santo teaches Painting, Drawing and Art Appreciation at Miami Dade College.

An avid traveler, Santo aims to take his audiences on journeys that explore and embrace process, chance and recognize the miraculous in the mundane.

“ It is the fluidity of our existences which is mirrored in my work.  By embracing our mutable natures in a world that is also in constant transfiguration, we gain a better understanding of ourselves.”

Santo Martin received a BFA in 1991 from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida and an MFA in the Visual Arts in 2007 from Florida International University in Miami, Florida.
