Santi Lara

Tomelloso, 1975

Lives and works in Gijón and Madrid.

Santiago Lara plays with the known and the unexpected. The Spanish artist uses an imaginary but precise language to represent an art that straddles a dreamed and real land, experimenting with art as a communication tool.

Doctor in Fine Arts. Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). He combines his individual work as a painter with audiovisual experimentation within the Laramascoto collective. After beginning his training at the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, he later moved to the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid, where he graduated. He then continued studying at the Faculté d’Arts Plastiques de Bordeaux, from where he moved to Paris. After two years in France, he settled in Asturias, although he also spends long periods in Berlin, where he has developed projects and exhibitions in places like Kunstlerhaus GlogauAIR or Bethanien Kunstraum Kreuzberg.
