Anthony Santella
My work explores the spiritual in a modern context, addressing themes of love, loss and suffering through elements of traditional ritual sculpture from many cultures. Through art, I want to understand how to find meaning in dreams and visions while staying genuinely involved and in love with the people and reality that so often seem to betray those dreams. Above all, I care about creating a sense of wonder, a suggestion of the beauty and mystery of life.  For better or worse, I don't think visual art can teach; but it can tell stories that remind people of the important things in life: hope, wonder, love. I can not make a viewer share my world view. But I can suggest a theme, a story. I try to pass along the spark of wonder that inspired me and allow the viewer to complete the story and take their own lesson. www.anthonysantella.com http://www.anthonysantella.comshapeimage_4_link_0
