1993 年出生于智利的圣地亚哥。他于 2018 年毕业于智利天主教大学艺术学院，并于 2023 年获得英国皇家艺术学院绘画硕士学位。
基于“探险式绘画法则”的创作理念，圣地亚哥·加诺斯的日常思考始终围绕”真实世界”的命题展开。从黎明苏醒至深夜入眠，荒野、田园、都市、自然等概念不断质询着现代人类的生存距离。在这个数字媒体与人工智能主导的时代，他刻意延续美术史记载的创作传统，开启了一场以身体为媒介的认知游戏：走出画室、跨越居所、突破自我边界，以现场写生的方式重新丈量存在。
这种创作选择源于对世界本真性的惊异。在户外写生所构筑的可能性场域中——那里既有无限的视觉潜能，又存在切实的物理限制——他找到了一种超越语言的心灵共振。这种原始、笨拙却充满生命力的创作行为，在大都会中形成了一条超现实的认知路径：通过与城市空间的随机共振，向混凝土森林发出哲学叩问，同时触碰其隐秘的运行法则。
抽象与具象的轮舞在调色盘中渐次展开，日常材料经由技艺转化获得新生。纪录片、动画、装置、游戏、参与式艺术……背负着颜料与画笔的行囊，圣地亚哥穿行于这颗水与岩石构成的漂浮星球，持续探索着记录与重构现实的多元可能。
Born in Santiago, Chile in 1993. He graduated from art school in 2018 from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and in 2023 with a Master’s degree in Painting from the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom.
By a principle of adventure-painting, Santiago wakes up and fall asleep wondering what“the real world” could be. Wilderness, rurality, city, nature... Are we humans really so far away from each other? He found himself playing a game: Exploring my surroundings outside the studio, outside my home, outside myself to paint “from life” in the era of digital media and artificial intelligence, as once painters did according to history books. Why, you might wonder. Because we should be shocked by the world’s existence.
In the endless possibilities and the physical limitations that this operation brings —“plein air”painting — He has found a practice that connects my heart with the world around me in a way that goes beyond language. This old-fashioned, simple, and dirty performance is an unreal path in the metropolis, a way of asking questions to the city while randomly synchronizing with its inhabitants and its secret forces. Abstraction and figuration dance in and out of my cooking pot, brought to life by tools and materials found in the everyday.
