JUDGE:
Freddy Santana is a Sacramento regional ceramic artist and educator. Freddy’s work represents the exploration of tradition without being limited by that same tradition. Inspired by his culture. He states “philosophies and ideas, the forms and techniques, the images and symbolism reflect both my history and my present. However, I do not seek to replicate tradition, for I am not solely my past. I am the present using modern techniques and materials and struggling with modern themes.”
A graduate of California State University Sacramento. He was also an apprentice to internationally known artist Thanos Johnson for two years. Currently, Freddy is the Visual Arts Department Chair as well as teaches ceramics and art at Laguna Creek High School.
CATEGORIES – only art that uses heat or flame to create, such as glass, metal, ceramic, sculpture, encaustic, or plastics.
