Far from descriptive and rigid seascapes, Santos uses watercolor to capture the ephemeral: the reflection of the sun on the waves and the silhouette of sailboats blurring on the horizon. In this visual diptych, the artist plays with the economy of strokes to suggest depth, allowing the white of the paper to act as a natural light source that gives the work a unique atmospheric vibrancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe nobility of the medium and the technique of water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe choice of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"16\"\u003eGuarro Paper\u003c\/b\u003e is not accidental; it is a technical statement of intent.
