The pieces became larger in the 2000s and 2010s. In 2012, he worked with renowned urban architect (Juan Felipe Uribe de Bedout ) on the Cedro Verde Project in Colombia. In 2014, “Life”, a nine foot monumental stainless steel sculpture was installed at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts to celebrate the first centennial of the school. Mariavelia Savino, well known curator and gallerist, summarizes Medina’s art as: "What is most unique about contemporary artist Santiago Medina is his aesthetic depth and erudition to capture, in stainless steel and bronze, the authentic expressiveness of the visual arts. His art displays energetic but yet enigmatic spiraling figures in continuous movement rising to the heavens. The topics covered joy and harmony, lovers and maternal love, life and friendship, ecstasy and passion, are the fabric of who we are as humans. All these strong emotions converge in his seductive art. Endowed with a solid training in the masters but with avante-garde inspiration, the work of Santiago Medina is clearly captivating and will transcend generations.”〔needs citation〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santiago Medina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
