Santana’s approach reimagines how we would current, witness, and digest the feminine nude, from a feminine lens current throughout the realm of the digital age.

Her figures refuse to be contained, reasonably they take up house of their unabashed stature, flux, shade and vary.

However greater than something, these artworks operate as a reclamation of female eroticism for an period of system error”.
