Santiago Medina (born in 1964) is a Colombian-American sculptor. His career spans art, medicine, medical imaging, medical research, and education.
Medina is best known for his stainless steel sculptures – both outdoor monumental and indoor smaller works. He uses advanced medical imaging technology and software to design and create his sculpture, which have included commissions for institutions such as Harvard University School of Public Health, [1] Washington University in St. Louis, Tufts University, Florida International University, CES University in Colombia, Miami Children's Hospital, St. Louis Catholic Church in Miami, Santa Maria de los Angeles Church (Colombia), Monasterio de la Santa Madre Laura (Colombia), and Ransom Everglades School in Miami.
Medina's works are in galleries and private collections throughout the world, and have been shown at major international exhibitions including Art Basel Week Red Dot Fair in Miami, Palm Beach International Art Fair, Arte America (Miami, US), Miami International Art Fair (MIA), Sincronia Feria de Arte (Bogota, Colombia), and the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.
Medina was born and raised in Medellin, Colombia, to a family of artists and physicians. His great-grandfather Emiliano Mejia [2] was a pioneer photographer and painter in Colombia in the late 1800s and early 1900s. His grandfather, Rafael Mejia Uribe, was also a painter and prominent pediatrician in Colombia. He was the first director of Clinica Noel in the 1920s, a pediatric charity hospital in Medellin. [3]
Inspired by the dual careers of Russian painter and lawyer Wassily Kandinsky and of his grandfather Rafael Mejia as a physician and artist he embarked on doing medicine and art as complementary careers. He decided to specialize in Radiology (Medical Imaging) because of its artistic 3D visual appeal and ground-breaking technology. He did his Diagnostic Radiology (Medical Imaging) residency at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University in St. Louis, US. He then subspecialized in Neuroradiology (Brain imaging) and Pediatric Radiology (Medical Imaging in Children) at Boston Children's Hospital a Harvard School of Medicine affiliated Hospital. Looking to bring a social meaning to his medical and artist work he enrolled in the Harvard School of Public Health to do a Master of Public Health with a concentration in Health Care Management. He then went ahead to become a leader in Evidence-based medicine in medical Imaging. He and co-editor Craig Blackmore, MD, MPH went on the publish in 2006, the first-ever book on Evidence-Based Imaging [4] and subsequently with Kimberly Applegate, MD,MS a series on this topic including dedicated adult, pediatric and neuroimaging books. [5] [6] [7] He has co-authored more than 50 peer review articles in major international medical journals including Pediatrics, Radiology, Neurology, American Journal of Neuroradiology and Pediatric Radiology. [8]
Among his most important exhibitions during his career are 2006 Colombia Consulate in Miami, US; 2011 and 2014 Art Basel Week Red Dot Fair, 2013 and 2014 Palm Beach International Art Fair, Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables Solo Exhibitions (2010, 2011 and 2014), 2012 Arte America, 2013 Houston Art Fair, Miami International Art MIA Fair (2013, 2014), Sculpt Miami (2013,2014) and Sinfonia Art Fair Bogota (2014).
