Santiago Picatoste
CV - Biography:
Santiago Picatoste
1971 Palma, Mallorca, Spain.
Santiago Picatoste studied Fine Arts at the Escuela Libre del Mediterráneo in Palma, Mallorca. He received the Graphic Arts Scholarship of the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Palma and the Plastic Arts Scholarship of the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid.
He won the Ibeart first Painting Prize at the ABC Museum in Madrid, was a finalist at the Premios Generación of La Casa Encendida in Madrid, and won the honorable mention at the International Sculpture Prize of the Gabarrón Foundation, among others.
His work is in several important collections such as the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice, the La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, the Flingthon Collection in Copenhagen, the CAC in Malaga or the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection in Madrid.
He has participated in around 30 solo shows and more than 90 group shows in countries as diverse as Spain, the United States, Denmark, England or Italy.
Picatoste is particularly interested in what he calls the "crystallization of the gesture" and the psychology of color, and his creative process is based on alchemy and research with the translucent and industrial materials he uses, in balance with more traditional materials such as oil and acrylic. His style can be defined in relation to the new post-painterly abstraction.
