Conflicted Feelings: in conversation with Marikit Santiago and her work
Instead of separating out the different parts of her life, Santiago finds ways to 'live across', and this has led her to consciously bringing her children in as collaborators as well as subjects. Her depiction of them in The divine – awarded the prestigious Sulman Prize in 2020 – is their most notable appearance. The painting is a profound expression of maternal love as well as a meditation on legacy and the idea of original sin as 'an inherited condition' that spans generations.
