My artwork is all collage, but from a different perspective. My artwork aims to challenge the viewer, making the familiar unfamiliar and the strange normal. It is up to the viewer to find a focal point, to look for the theme, and understand what is and what isn’t as they observe. My collages are influenced by various art styles and forms ranging from abstract expressionism to surrealism to pop art. My art is also influenced by comic books, social media, graphic design, science fiction, body horror, and mythology.

Luis Santiago is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on collage. Drawing on influences ranging from comic books, graphic novels, animation, mythology, music and literature, he pulls these elements together on the canvas. The surreal, the abstract, and the absurd come together to add depth to the pieces. Santiago received a Bachelor of Arts from Montclair State University.
