Born in 1995 in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Armig Santos explores Puerto Rican culture, history, and ecology through a distinctly contemporary perspective—unfolding literary, romantic, and colonial images of its islands to portray landscapes that bridge dream and reality. Santos received a BFA from the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico, San Juan, in 2018. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Lévy Gorvy Dayan, New York (2026); Walter Otero Contemporary Art, San Juan (2025); Half Gallery,
New York (2024) and Los Angeles (2023); and El Castillete, Madrid (2023), among others. From 2022 to 2023, he was included in the group presentation no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In 2017, he co-organized “Puertos Ricos: A Festival of Arts and Natures” with the support of MoMA PS1. In addition to notable private collections, his work is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Santos lives and works in San Juan.
