Un artista en construcción quien deja importantes huellas de su recorrido una y otra vez, buscando nuevas formas de expresarse y capturando
vivencias.
Inicia sus estudios de arte en el taller de Hugo Sánchez,, artista consolidado de la pintura c
ostarricense, en donde forma parte de exposiciones grupales. Allí aprende la diferencia entre el ver y el observar cuidadosamente.
Los bodegones y paisajes
dan paso a temáticas
surrealistas, que utiliza para comunicar mensajes ocultos entre colores y figuras.
Su necesidad de expresarse continúa durante su educación, en secundaria lleva dibujo técnico y durante su estudios universitarios sigue
transformando en arte sus memorias de infancia y de su amada familia. La pintura pasa a ser el refugio de un mundo cuadrado y concluye con
éxito su licenciatura como Ingeniero Industrial, una carrera que le permitirá experimentar el mundo de los negocios a través de compañías
multinacionales y organizaciones, a lo largo de América Central, Colombia (2006) y grandes ciudades como Nueva York (2007) o París y Estocolmo (2008).
El óleo cede paso al acrílico y su arte se torna más conceptual, expresando sentimientos, instantes y metáforas que retan nuestra vista y nos
permiten convertirnos en testigos de sus priopias visiones.
Sus exitosas muestras del 2005 "Pasos de un Caminante", 2007 "Sin Miedo", 2008 "Bamboo, el brillo del viento" afirman su compromiso
por continuar descubriéndose como artista. Promete no dejar de crecer y evolucionar, pues de hecho, si algo tiene claro Crisanto, es que el cambio es
constante y que un artista crea, sobre su vida... y la vida cambia.
A partir del 2009, reforzará una de sus metas, que es aportar con su trabajo a mejorar la vida de los niños a través del arte, un ejemplo es
trasmitirles a ustedes información sobre los Programas de Padrinos del Horfanato de San Jose que el
Hospicio de Huerfanos de San Jose esta llevando a cabo.
Para el 2010 inicia su proyecto internacional Lejiticos en el cual agrupa a la comunidad de costarricenses en el mundo.
Con mas de 7 mil miembros activos, organizados en grupos por pais.
También a través de algunas de sus pinturas podemos reconocer grandes momentos de su
vida personal en Bélgica (1997), Italia (1998), Alemania(2003) o Chipre (2008).

An artist under construction who leaves once and again important traces from his parcour, looking for new ways to express himself and capturing lifetime memories.
Crisanto started his art studies under the tutor of Hugo Sánchez, consolidated artist from CostaRican painting scenario, where he takes part from group exhibitions. He learns the difference between watching and carefully observing. Dead nature paintings and landscape views open room for the surreal themes, used by him to communicate hidden messages among colors and shapes.
The expression need continues during his education, during high school he took technical design studies and during college he transforms into art his beloved family and childhood memories . Painting remains as his refugee from this squared world until he finishes successfully his degree as Industrial Engineer, a career that would allow him experience the business world through multinational companies and organizations all over Central America, Colombia (2006) and big cities such as NewYork (2007)or Paris and Stockholm (2008).
The oil colours let the acrilic take place and his art became more conceptual, expressing feelings, instants and metaphores that challenge our sight but always allow us to become witnesses of his own visions. Through his paintings we could see important personal moments from Belgium (1997), Italy (1998), Germany (2003) or Cyprus (2008).
His succesful installations from 2005 "Walker steps", 2007 "Fear less", 2008 "Bamboo, the shinning wind" confirm an engagement from the artist to continue discovering himself as an artist. He promisses to not stop growing and evoluing, indeed, if something is clear to Crisanto, is that change is a constant in our lives and that an artist creates about his own life... and life changes.
From 2009 he will reinforce one of his goals: improve through Art the life quality of the children, one example is to bring information about the Lejiticos and groups the community of costarricans spread in the world. The community has already 7 thousand active members and is still growing.
"Is unavoidable, it exists within us, this need to transmit a feeling and we should follow it... let us be taken by it"
