A Spaniard successfully settled in Los Angeles is behind the direction and part of the lyrics of C.Tangana’s new videoclip, ‘Un Veneno<\/em>‘. <\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Santos<\/p>\n

We are talking about Santos Bacana (@santosbacana<\/a>)<\/strong>, who defines himself as an artist with multiple facets where he can also work as a director. In a chat with him, he tells us about his feelings, the style behind the video clip and how he feels enormously fortunate to have participated in this project:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s as if an unknown painter had been given a blank canvas in a good museum<\/span>\u201d. –\u00a0 Santos Bacana <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0–<\/strong><\/p>\n

Highxtar (H.<\/span>) \u2013 <\/strong>How would you define your facet as an artist?<\/p>\n

Santos Bacana (SB<\/span>) \u2013\u00a0Every day I doubt my facet as an artist, but I trust that it exists and I have the verbiage to sell it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

H. –\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>What disciplines do you work in?<\/p>\n

SB<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 In several, like almost all artists today. I like almost all forms of writing, directing, designing and from time to time, I stand in front of the camera. As the Eames used to say: “Eventually everything connects”<\/span>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

H. –\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>You’re currently living in Los Angeles. Is your career more successful there than in Spain<\/span><\/span><\/span>?<\/p>\n

SB<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Yes, I came to LA when I was twenty-three years old and I’ve professionally built myself here. Since then, what pays my bills are the projects I work on here, but since coming here I’ve tried hard to keep a foot in Madrid. I love everything that has happened in Spain<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

H.<\/span><\/strong> – How would you describe your creative style<\/span><\/span><\/span>?<\/p>\n

SB<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 I’ve been trying to find it for a couple of years and today I think it’s very related to my roots converging with this new world<\/span>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to creating, concretely, I’m chaotic – everything bubbles up and I channel what I can, then I try to organize it. It\u2019s more or less as if for a minute it rained notes and you have a bag where only a little goes in. You take everything you can and then you’ll decide how to waste it<\/span>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
