All Four Years in Studio — Documented by Santiago

SANTIAGO IN STUDIO

Welcome to Santiago’s studio-bedroom — the place where all the magic happens. For the past three years, he has been living and creating within these walls. This is where it all began. Every corner of the room carries pieces of his journey: the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the countless late nights fueled by passion and vision. It’s more than just a space filled with art — it’s a reflection of his soul, a sanctuary of growth, and a living archive of everything he has been through.

I really enjoy spending time in this corner of my room it's where I can read my favorite books, look through my vinyls, CDs, and tapes, and surround myself with art that inspires me. On this wall, ! hang exhibit posters, pieces from other artists, and little things l've collected along the way. It's my "inspo wall," filled with media from icons like Beyoncé, Bob Marley, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sade, Keith Haring, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, and more. All of these artists have paved the way for us younger generations to carry the torch using our voices to create meaningful art.

REBEL. To me, it means refusing to stay quiet, refusing to shrink, refusing to let the world decide who I am. My rebellion is in the colors, in the strokes, in the way I keep showing up no matter what tried to stop me. This moment, this space, this energy it's Rebel Time. Rebel Time isn't about breaking rules it's about rewriting them. Surrounded by my own creations, each one a piece of resistance painted into existence.
