Katia Santibanez's Process-Driven Exhibition at Michael Steinberg Fine Art Explores Nature and Geometry

Katia Santibanez showcased her artwork at Michael Steinberg Fine Art in New York from September 8 to October 8, 2005. The artist, who resides in New York, delves into themes of nature, architecture, geometry, and cognitive processes through her abstract creations. Her paintings vary in size, with some as small as 12 inches square, and are structured into rectilinear sections, featuring designs that resemble fur or grass. The essence of her paintings is captured through pencil sketches and engravings. In her 2002 solo show, she presented dark green curved forms that reflected botanical motifs and geometric designs akin to those found in Italian or French gardens. Born in France and educated at the School of Art in Paris, Santibanez produces intricately metaphorical pieces like Red Duet, which harmoniously blend symmetry with freehand drawing.
