Santiago Mals

Santiago Mals is a Naarm/Melbourne-based emerging artist whose oil paintings work into the complexities of identity in today’s world. Through his art, Santiago engages with the personal and societal struggles of defining oneself amidst the chaos of modern life.

By capturing the nuances of identity crises and the search for meaning, Santiago’s painting spark introspection and dialogue about how we perceive ourselves and others in an increasingly interconnected yet fractured world. His art serves as a mirror, revealing the intricate layers of human identity and inviting viewers to contemplate their own roles within a diverse and evolving society.
