“The master always teaches what he knows and this is part of my influence, but I see it will berather short. I am very happy to see a brutal geometric evolution”

Josep Novellas

Santi Dominguez is essentially figurative, with a clear tendency toward realism. Soon I surelywill have to say "was" because he is now clearly on his path of change. Although the humanfigure and its reality are still driving his work, that certain obsessive classic perfectionism thatmuch damage him as he did not have, yet, the sufficient expertise to achieve them. Now notehowever that his domain of freedom is governed with his creative concept. Without giving up,because he does not need, the principles of plastic language. Santi Dominguez has reversed theframework, the desire has disappeared for a theoretical perfection, and he is devoted towhat should be fundamental:communicate emotions.

“Santi Domínguez undertakes a hard work as a big fan, huge painter and much better technical illustrator. Hefocuses his view on the wild life. He addresses this complicated issue, with fervor and with a version of greatscientific value, but written by the eyes of a new vision of great tonal beauty. These beautiful pictorial works aremaintained by the fidelity of their Creator, faithful to a kind of intimate gaze directed at various races such as theelephants, apes, mammalian beasts, reptiles and horses under the tutelage of an extraordinary sketch and wiseapplication of the iridescence is a collection of great power and beauty teaching descriptive. Dominguez isguided by pure heterodoxy attached to a single conviction, which is none other than the plastic creation ofspecies transferred to canvas. These paintings hold the ideological message of respect for wildlife, seenfrom the perspective of visual enormity plasticity, where the situation is more complicated color due to theirbodies and feature different skins. The artist uses his gift, talent and intelligence in these works, and oncecrystallized and completed, submits them to the criticism of specialists, whose rise the study to the superlativedegree of Works of Art. Older people may remember that we formerly used these animal representations for thesole purpose of making it known to an ignorant world. These skills were exotic and only used as educationalmaterial, never as an artistic message in visual creativity. For this reason and in response to his creative needsSanti stands on these exercises and ascends to a preferential and outstanding artistic level. His works are drivenby his strong personality and his skill, by his manner of drawing and possessing knowledge on this subject. Hisstruggle, in an optimistic scenario, serves as a heavy circular tax taking all human actions. Fortunately for loversand animal advocates, Santi Dominguez has the purest ideology that times have changed. We can definitely saythat the technique is perfect and each canvas is bound to its own history under the formalization of a wonderfulcolor system.”
