SUMMARY:“Guatemala: My Place of Trees" Solo Exhibition by Ambar Santiago Opens in Side Gallery on September 17
DESCRIPTION:What if the place you’re supposed to call home is a place you’ve never truly known? \nAmbar Santiago makes her exhibition debut at CityArts’ SIDE Gallery with “Guatemala: My\nPlace of Trees.” Through fluorescently powerful color and dense layers of overgrown plants\,\nSantiago confronts the complicated experience of growing up in the United States while feeling\nseparated from her Central American and Caribbean heritage. \n“Guatemala: My Place of Trees” speaks to anyone who has ever felt too disconnected from their\nheritage to fully claim it\, but too connected to ever let it go. Rather than presenting Guatemala\nas somewhere familiar\, Santiago constructs her own imagined landscape\, a psychological map\nbuilt from longing and cultural displacement. Her work transforms the tropical plant into a symbol\nof the search for roots\, which is something that can nurture\, protect\, consume\, and ultimately\nbecome impossible to escape. \nAt its heart\, this debut exhibition asks what it means to create a homeland inside your own\nimagination when the real one feels just out of reach. “Guatemala: My Place of Trees” is a\nreminder that sometimes the landscape we make to find ourselves can become the very thing\nthat swallows us whole. \nIn the last six months\, Ambar Santiago has risen to prominence in Orlando through her\nadvocacy for women artists. Because of this advocacy\, she won WOMEN OF IMPACT in the\nArts – Rising Star\, presented by Nosotras Latinas Magazine and Mujer Emprendre. \nShe also had the great honor of being invited by her alma mater UCF in April 2026\, to talk about\nher advocacy for women’s rights in the arts. Ambar and her team at Mills Gallery talked to the\nUCF students for two hours and shared their views about the art world and artists. The event\nwas introduced by Representative Anna Eskamani\, which showed the city’s support.\nAmbar Santiago also recently curated her very first Exhibition titled “Opposites Attract”\, in March\n2026\, featuring Liamel Cohen and Genna Sweetnam. The Exhibition received rave reviews and\nsold nine (9) pieces. \n“Guatemala: My Place of Trees” is presented in conjunction with the beginning of Hispanic\nHeritage Month in September\, making this an especially critical time to share and celebrate our\nHispanic identities and stories. \nAmbar strongly believes\, “If I can help one woman feel prepared enough to enter the art world\,\nthen I’m doing something right.” \nArt Instagram: @dvckssauce

SUMMARY:"Proof of Life" Solo Exhibition by Angelo the Artiste Opens in the CityArts Café
DESCRIPTION:Proof of Life is a visual record of one year in the life of a full time artist. The ups and downs\, and the good and the bad. Being honest about what it felt like and what struggles\, sacrifices\, vulnerability come with becoming a professional artist. Through surreal graphite portraits\, each piece represents a different stage of the journey\, reflecting the internal battles and personal discoveries that happen behind the scenes. This exhibition is evidence that I was here and that I kept creating\, despite everything this first year threw at me. I pushed through to become the artist I am today and will continue to be. \nThis collection is a full story to follow from the first piece to the last. So take in each piece from beginning to end to truly put yourself in my shoes. \nAbout Angelo the Artiste \nAngelo the Artiste is a 31 year old self taught artist whose journey began with a pencil and a deep curiosity for expression. With over 16 years of dedication to art\, Angelo has honed his craft through persistence\, experimentation\, and an unwavering passion for visual storytelling. In 2024\, he officially stepped into the professional art world\, turning years of personal practice into a full-time creative pursuit. \nWorking primarily in black and white\, Angelo is known for his surreal portraits that blend realism with imagination. His pieces often explore emotion\, identity\, and dreamlike perspectives\, using fine detail and contrast to bring striking visions to life on paper. Each portrait invites viewers into a layered world where the familiar meets the unexpected. \nBeyond the studio\, Angelo extends his artistry into the public space through mural work across Orlando. His community driven pieces aim to inspire\, connect\, and transform everyday environments into meaningful visual experiences. Whether on paper or on walls\, Angelo the Artiste continues to evolve\, driven by a commitment to growth\, creativity\, and impact and to open up people’s mind and touch the world through his art.
