Eman Mediana Santos on nurturing his own art and familial values
The bond between mother and child is said to be primal, a celebration life through birth as well as nurturing and to be able to capture this scene in canvas is a pure wonder.
Although there has a tumult of cultural and artistic references made on this theme, tirelessly camouflaging one after the another to a point where originality and creative takes are almost lost, with its universal appeal, mother and child paintings remains one of the most enduring and timeless themes in the art.
There have been scores of Filipino artists who have engaged in said theme. While also being fascinated with the theme, Eman Santos has manage to develop that certain finesse in the articulation of this kind of bond and tender intimacies.
Santos’ sincerity and earnestness to his own conviction makes him a distinct artist in this genre. His idea is to advance his own surface and vamp up new approaches to a much articulated theme and perhaps many would agree that he ably did so. His images have become warmly recognizable in many ways apart from his colleagues.
