about María Santiso

Madrid, 1979

In the work of m.e.santiso (Madrid, Spain), the graphite strokes, the tension of an entangled black thread, and the texture of lithographic pencil make thoughts visible. Art serves as her escape, a way to bring order to the turmoil within.

The female body is the central thread, and the absence of distracting elements such as backgrounds or purely decorative features becomes a defining trait. Her aim is to focus on what she wants to express without distractions.

m.e.santiso's artistic work is deeply intimate, seeking to prompt reflection in the viewer through the interplay of her visuals and titles. It invites the audience to delve into the threads and strokes, uncovering what lies beyond a first glance.
