Abstract Santos by Diane Chavez
Abstract Santos are fine art paintings and prints by Diane Chavez. Diane Chavez creates her Abstract Santos in oil paint as a variation on traditional santos traditions of hispanics of the American Southwest and Mexico. Santos (painted and carved images of saints) are visual aids for the Spanish Catholic religion. Santos have lived in the homes of Hispanic New Mexican as well as Native American families for hundreds of years to help explain the stories of the saints to the native peoples. At first, some statues were brought from Spain and Mexico but the responsibility for making santos was handled by Franciscan friars and then by local craftspersons and artists. Santeros, the artists who make the images of saints, supply New Mexican churches and homes.
