Press and texts:

Ironizando com relacao entre o Homem e Mundo, Santiago Ribeiro apresenta diversos trabalhos muito imaginativos e originais. Neles as cidades crescem ate ao cume das montanhas, as estradas sao ocupadas por grupos de nudistas e as Igrejas possuem retabulos com imagens de Cristos completamente despidos e sedutores.

With ironic relationship between Man and World, Santiago Ribeiro presents several very imaginative and original artworks. In these cities grow to the summit of the mountains, the roads are occupied by nudists groups and churches have altars with images of Christ's completely naked and seductive.

Visao 7 magazine, 22/03/2001

A pintura de Santiago Ribeiro da-nos o real e o avesso, o irreal e a sua penumbra, o movimento e a sua hiperbole, como o gosto do semeador que acaricia a seara. Se o traco e surrealista o que os seus quadros nos mostram, num justo equilibrio de cores, e uma realidade outra, como se as figuras que nos interpelam fossem as nossas proprias sombras levantadas do fundo da memoria.

Antonio Arnaut ( poeta e escriitor )

Painting of Santiago Ribeiro gives us the real and the inside out, the unreal and its semi-darkness, the movement and its hyperbole, like the taste of the sower that caresses the harvest. If the trait is surrealist what his paintings show us, in a fair balance of colors, is another reality, as if the figures that challenge us were our own shadows lifted from the depths of memory.

Antonio Arnaut ( poet and writer )
