A cosmopolitan nature lover whose attitude shows in her work. She is a restless, creative observer who hasmade art her way of life, and a seeker of essences and feelings who likes beauty and simplicity. And entrepreneurial she creates pieces that reflect a deep look on nature and the feminine form. She observes plants and animals as a naturalist and feels colour and composition in a very intuitive way, always using a mix of techniques. Her art restless and constantly evolving shines through murals, exhibitions in art galleries, decorative pieces and in published books.
«Spontaneous and optimistic, Joana Santamans is a multifaceted artist who tackles with the same approach the painting of a mural, the illustration of a book, the transforming song lyrics into images or the turning a random object into a work of art. She does it always with the same goal: bringing through art something special to this world.»
