Jorge Santos

I enjoy looking at artist's creations. I especially enjoy those paintings that look lifelike yet hold that imaginative feeling.

The surreal images portrayed in Jorge Santos paintings are intriguing, such as one that I stumbled upon while thumbing through the essential guide called Book Worm. This Daliesque painting is of a young girl walking on a lonely muddy road in inclement weather confronted with what appears to be a small spider hanging from a Sycamore.




When I googled his name, I came across many other disturbing yet beautiful paintings such one of a beautiful woman laying between metal wheels called Hobo or the dreamlike painting of the Chrysler Building laying over a canyon.






You can see more of Jorge Santos creative works HERE.
