Meet a Mural!
When David Santiago was asked to paint “I Spy”, his first mural, he didn’t let on that he wasn’t entirely sure what he was doing, he just went with what he knows, paint. He filled the entire side of a building on Mountain Rd. and Brother Mathias Pl. with a female face and her stark white hair. The simple aesthetic has become his signature style and can be recognized in galleries all over the state. This may have been his first, but it wasn’t his last mural. The Albuquerque artist also has artwork on the side of Duke City Beaches. Keep your eye peeled, murals are around every corner!
