"The work of an artist is much more than the images that he or she creates, and very often
entails a reflection on the ideas in circulation that construct the reality of living from day to day.
Engaging critically with a given work in its entirety also involves speaking of what there is
behind it, of what sustains it as framework and context, and of the things it suggests from what it
leaves unsaid.
José Luis Santalla belongs to a generation that, having started out in the eighties, has used
photography as a versatile, ductile tool, in an imaginative exploration of its narrative
possibilities"

"El trabajo de un artista es mucho más que sus imágenes y muy frecuentemente conduce a
establecer una reflexión sobre las ideas que circulan y construyen la realidad vivida
cotidianamente. Abordar críticamente en su conjunto una determinada obra presupone hablar
también de lo que hay detrás, de lo que la sostiene como marco y contexto, y de las cosas que
sugiere desde aquello que silencia.
José Luis Santalla pertenece a la generación que, iniciando su trayectoria en los años ochenta,
ha utilizado la fotografía como una herramienta versátil y dúctil, en una exploración imaginativa
de sus posibilidades narrativas"
