Gorgeous and secretive, vintage jewelry boxes have never been this fascinating! Canadian-Trinidadian multi-talented artist Curtis Talwst Santiago creates special little sets inside tiny boxes to touch strong themes and send messages on the ongoing issues in the world. On the other hand, some of his art are plainly artistic and gorgeous on the eye. Painted scenes with glorious backgrounds on the open lid of the boxes always carry a narrative through its unique arrangements. For an example Santiago’s ‘Deluge’ is a boat transporting refugees, while ‘Por Que?’, talks about police brutality. Artist uses his brilliant skills to pass these stories to many and we think he does an absolutely amazing job. Check out his collection titled ‘Infinity Series’ here on his official website.
