ABOUT THE WORK

Multi-award winning artist Mauro Malang Santos has throughout his oeuvre put on display his stunning creative genius. Prolific in a sense, Malang’s various thematic and technical approaches have time and again been the subject of great acclaim and reception. From his market vendors to his landscapes, the stylized forms that grace his works exhibit the artist’s depth and masterful vision. From the stylized depictions of urban travails, Malang’s art later veered towards more jubilant renditions of women. From market vendors to mothers, Malang captures these scenes with a distinct vibrance — teeming with color and bursting with life. Just as in this mother and child work, the iconic modern exhibits his more mature, refined aesthetic — his impassioned strokes invigorating the already vibrant blooming floral motif.
