Original print of Half Dome matted (11x14inch). Each of these prints is delicately made signed and serialized by Santiago Palacio.
Santiago Palacio is a printmaker, poet and painter currently working in Yosemite National Park. Originally from South America, Santiago currently lives in a rustic cabin in the park where he spends eight months of the year. Through his art as well as his work, he aims to inspire people to fall in love with one of the greatest American legacies: the wild and public lands of the National Parks.
Santiago often works late into the night printing these unique pieces by hand on high quality cotton paper with oil based inks. Each limited edition piece is dried in the peace and quiet of Yosemite's forests for two weeks before being matted and ready to frame. In the spirit of the National Parks' wild and public lands, his goal is to make original art that is beautiful, accessible and memorable to all.
Santiago enjoys printmaking because it is a true analogue art form, every part of the process must be diligently completed by hand. Printmaking combines the subtleties of pencil drawing, sketching, precision carving, the delicate buying use of ink, and gauging the appropriate pressure as the paper is rolled through a specialized printmaking press before the final work is dried and ready to be enjoyed.
