“Ex Vida” from Santiago Cohen – 1
- At a recent event, I was sitting with a couple of other artists and we bagan talking about Santiago Cohen. Here’s one of the greats on the New York scene, and it seems as though he went from super success to silence. We all were hoping something would happen, if only so that we could see more art.
When I returned from my short vacation, I was surprised to find an email from Santiago. He offered to send me part of a piece he was working on to get my thoughts. It’s an illustrated biographical notebook. And, as expected it’s stunning. I received the first couple hundred pages, and I asked Santiago if I could post it. He said yes, so here we go.
It’s appropriate that this piece should start today, Columbus Day. It’ll continue for a while. I’ll break it into parts, all about 40 pages, where it seems unobtrusive. This is “Art” with a capital “A” in the making, from Santiago. It’d make an incredible film.
Let us know what you think.

Santiago Cohen is another artist who is as great a person as they are a painter/illustrator/storyteller.
I believe, he had a show of with some of these on 23rd Street a few years ago. Having them surround you as the story unfolds is a vibrant shake. If I recall correctly, many of those paintings preceded these in the family timeline. The style was also a little different, so it may have been an earlier incarnation of the project.

Santiago Cohen is the illustrator of my first children’s picture book, “Before You Were Here, Mi Amor” (Viking Children’s Books, 2009). His work is absolutely vibrant, warm, and joyful. I had the great pleasure of meeting Santiago in California last year when we met to promote the book at a California book festival. He is such a wonderful man. I was so thrilled to meet him and I’m so grateful that we were paired on this book. I think his work is beautiful and I think he’s a remarkably talented, humble, lovely person. I hope more people discover his fantastic work. He deserves great success.
