Los Angeles

Eric Santamaria was born and raised in Los Angeles, graduating from McBride High School in Los Angeles, CA. Santamaria utilizes full body motion with tools, such as brushes or pens, attached to his chair. The motion of rocking back and forth in his chair provides consistent, linear markings that distinguish his work. Variations in size, shape, opacity, and color of marks are complemented by organic splatters of color.

Santamaria’s signature track marks serve as a path, guiding the viewer through his pieces.
