Intuition and Mastery in Contemporary Art
Born in Zaragoza in 1998, Santi Pina has demonstrated from an early age a profound and unwavering commitment to art, a field he has embraced with extraordinary curiosity and dedication. Though young in chronological terms, his career stands out for the depth of his creative vision and the quality of his technical execution, positioning him as one of the most powerful emerging talents in contemporary Spanish painting.
Santi Pina ventured into art like many great geniuses: self-taught and intuitively. From childhood, he exhibited a profound connection with painting, a visual language he used to explore his emotions, experiences, and surroundings. His approach to art was not limited to a technical or academic practice. For Pina, painting became a vehicle to understand the world and, more importantly, to understand himself. This introspective search has shaped his career, giving him an authenticity that resonates in both his smallest pieces and his grander works.
With a career that took off meteoricall,y, Pina completed the rigorous drawing and painting program at the Barcelona Academy of Art in record time: two years. This achievement not only highlights his extraordinary technical skill but also his incredible dedication and work ethic. Pina absorbed the classical foundations of painting in an environment that fosters technical mastery and academic rigor, but he did not stop there. Through his own process of creative evolution, Santi managed to transition between academic technique and a more personal approach, reflecting his unique artistic vision.

Santi Pina presents his first book—and, at the same time, a clear statement of intent.
This book brings together a selection of recent works alongside texts that reveal his way of seeing, feeling, and understanding painting. More than a publication, it is an invitation to pause. To observe slowly. To enter a space where vulnerability, silence, and material presence take center stage.
Santi approaches realism not as a style, but as a language. In his paintings, the human body becomes an emotional landscape, and light—or its absence—tells stories that words cannot.
A curated collection of works that engage with the past not as something distant, but as a presence that lives in the now: intimate, persistent, alive.
