Meet Your Instructor, Cesar Santos!

From his early childhood in Cuba, Cesar Santos was always interested in creative arts. After immigrating with his family to Miami, he dreamt of a future as an artist. After attending art school and learning a contemporary view of post-impressionistic principles, Cesar wanted to add to his knowledge by understanding the scientific aspect of painting, so he set off to the Angel Academy in Florence to learn more. He then took that knowledge and blended it with what he had learned and used it to develop his own unique and personal style that reflects both modernism and traditionalism.

Cesar is well known for creating portraits that reflect his passion for the unnoticeable, yet irreplaceable, people of his community.

The entire pictorial process until the final result is very good. It is worth noting the mixture of the traditional method with the modern methods that result in a wonderful realistic portrait, I mean fantastic! Cesar Santos is No. 1 in sales with his famous portrait of Valentina his wife precisely because it is without any doubt the best example of an ultra-professional portrait with a surprisingly wonderful realism as practically only he knows how to do! Thank you Eric for publicizing this amazing work by our dear Cesar Santos who is one of the great examples to follow in the art world as Cristiano Ronaldo in football is a unique artist!
