Cesar Santos began his visual arts studies at the Design and Architecture Senior High in Miami, FL and continued to attend Miami-Dade College and the New World School of the Arts, where he received his Associates Degree in Fine Arts. He subsequently traveled to Italy to study painting and was there introduced to the techniques of the Renaissance. Santos conceives pictures that represent his deepest and most irrational perceptions. He aspires to show images that transmit the impression of paintings of the past, but which are imbued with contemporary and fresh concepts. By taking objects out of their natural context, Cesar creates a new environment for them and a new reality for the viewer.
