Press and texts:
Ironizando com relação entre o Homem e Mundo, Santiago Ribeiro apresenta diversos trabalhos
muito imaginativos e originais. Neles as cidades crescem até ao cume das montanhas, as estradas
são ocupadas por grupos de nudistas e as Igrejas possuem retábulos com imagens de Cristos
completamente despidos e sedutores.
Visão 7, 22/03/2001
With ironic relationship between Man and World, Santiago Ribeiro presents several very
imaginative and original artworks. In these cities grow to the summit of the mountains, the roads
are occupied by nudists groups and churches have altars with images of Christ's compelety
naked and seductive.

A pintura de Santiago Ribeiro dá-nos o real e o avesso, o irreal e a sua penumbra, o movimento
e a sua hipérbole, como o gosto do semeador que acaricia a seara. Se o traço é surrealista o que
os seus quadros nos mostram, num justo equílibrio de cores, é uma realidade outra, como se as
figuras que nos interpelam fossem as nossas próprias sombras levantadas do fundo da memória.
António Arnaut ( poeta e escriitor )

3. Painting of Santiago Ribeiro gives us the real and the inside out, the unreal and its semi-
darkness, the movement and its hyperbole, like the taste of the sower that caresses the harvest. If
the trait is surrealist what his paintings show us, in a fair balance of colors, is another reality, as
if the figures that challenge us were our own shadows lifted from the depths of memory.
António Arnaut ( poet and writer )
