Pueblo Son

Pueblo Son by Roseta Santiago presents an intimate portrait of a young man from Tesuque Pueblo, set against a twilight landscape where the golden light of the setting sun meets a shadowed forest below and vast slate clouds above. Wrapped in a vivid scarlet blanket, the titular figure’s glossy black hair is tied with a black and yellow ribbon, his expression calm yet focused. This striking portrait captures both the subject's quiet strength and Santiago’s noteworthy ability to convey depth through meticulous details.
