Echeverri Santiago Hoyos was born in Bogotá in 1958, is the first of six children of Mrs. Maria Victoria Hoyos and Mr. Ivan Echeverri. At age seven his family moved to Manila, and Santiago went to the care of two nuns, who received the most important lesson of life: carpentry, painting, music, gardening, praying the rosary and simultaneously express their affection for own body.
Understood that the most important since he had learned, he left school and began painting at age fourteen as a painter by profession. Took courses in painting at the University of the Andes and was a student of Master David Manzur.
He has dedicated his life to painting and was inspired by the creation of works, works that have grown along with him and his profession.
"The artists who transcend their ranch in a movement, because art is an obsessive thing, and I just want to do a mix where everything fits, I put together all the movements."
Santiago has had several stages, "The art too presumptuous I like fat, but also very slimy." It boasts in his works but to be made to understand and non-intellectual intellectual. The details of his works are left-handed while the bulk of them, right-handed.
Today he lives in a magical and mysterious, it has inspired over the past nine years.
