Santiago said that one of his inspirations for creating cultural promotion actions like this “was the work of fellow artists who created a mapping of Cultural Constellations in order to generate a link between the group of artists from different disciplines aimed at supporting us.” mutually, in that context I came up with the idea of ​​combining the presence of artists from La Rioja with artists from all over the country, which is the key to the success of these events.”

For his part, the art critic Emmanuel Franco, expressed: “the pieces exhibited are the result of an arduous work process, a path to cultivate thought through matter. They represent a vitality for the ideas of the artists and their way of working. They are the rumor of a search that It is recognized in enthusiasm, desire and also in fear and anxiety. Landscapes that fade in a memory that struggles to resist, overflowing blue faces that seem to attack with their gestures, spots of colors that spread like liquid poetry. “There is so much to see and so little time to feel. Like a bolt of lightning trying to hit a tree in the middle of the forest, these images are the perfect setting for a catastrophe, the kind that inspires joy and misery.”

In a world where limits often restrict expression, Estudio Fantasma presents itself as a space where art is a catalyst for freedom, challenging conventional barriers with each work and encouraging us to feel and reflect beyond the obvious.
