ARTIST PROFILE
BenjaminSantiago
from Mexico
Far far away from the other villages is a window into
the past. Artists in La Union draw their talents from an
ancient form of toy making. Some prefer using vegetable
and aniline dyes not used by other villages since the 60's
for a deep feel that fades gracefully over time. Most share
a sort of rustic finesse that gives presence and personality.
These qualities are best seen in the work of the
Santos, Perez and Santiago families.
