About the Artist

Crescencio is the artistic identity of Chris Santiago - a multidisciplinary creator shaped by a relentless pursuit of truth, beauty, and transformation.

As a painter, Crescencio channels powerful energies through color, texture, and motion. His abstract acrylic works are born not from fixed ideas, but from a living moment - where presence, nature, and the divine converge.

Each piece emanates the power to communicate something deeper than words - to move energy, evoke feeling, and awaken memory.

Whether subtle or intense, Crescencio’s work is created with a clear intention:
to transform the emotional atmosphere of a space. To uplift, inspire, and bring clarity, calm, and vitality to the observer.

These paintings are vessels of frequency, crafted to support healing, presence, and emotional resonance.

Philosophy

The power of nature. The force of color.

Each painting is a vessel - for energy, transformation, and healing.

“I create a structure - the four walls if you will - making space for the power of nature and the divine to flow within it, then capture it so that the moment of power lives on for others to experience.”

Just one piece has the power to transform a space, shift its frequency, and speak life into it.

These works are an offering- to individuals, families, and communities seeking presence, peace, and beauty in their lives.

This is Crescencio’s artistic contribution to humanity - to awaken energy, harmony, and presence in the spaces we inhabit.
