"We island of the Atlantic, a Sentry Tower whose legend is defined romantic. Yes, we with gigantic hearts for humanity will always reach towards the fantastic. Yes, we… The emphatic light guardians that watch over the transatlantic. We…" ©Sanzei
Several weeks prior to Hurricane Maria's malevolent arrival. I was blessed by the love of my life with a trip to Puerto Rico. These next few days, I praised the fortune I shared of my loved island with my beloved ones…
On the first morning, I woke up early so that I may experience a refreshing sunrise in Old San Juan. After walking around Old San Juan for several hours observing and absorbing my wonderful culture I began to wonder why it had taken me so long to come back. Regardless, I decided I would attempt to come back home more often… 10 years – It was my first time back since 2007 but as expected Puerto Rico's atmosphere enchanted me as much as it energized me. "I pray that my final days are here home en el Borinquen."

Santos "Sanzei" López is a fine art photographer for whom the camera is the culmination of a lifelong visual journey. His artistic practice was ignited in childhood with a simple 35mm film camera, a gift from his mother, who became his first subject and instilled in him the belief that photography could capture profound joy and connection.
This foundation evolved through decades of work as a graphic artist and graffiti writer, disciplines that permanently shaped his eye for composition, bold geometry, and layered texture. In 2015, he made a definitive commitment to photography, channeling this multidisciplinary vision into a focused pursuit of the definitive image.
Sanzei’s work transforms the contrasting landscapes of South Florida’s coasts and the Pacific Northwest into contemplative art. He approaches beaches, cityscapes, and mountain vistas as complex graphic arrangements, seeking the precise interplay of light, shadow, and form that transcends documentation to evoke feeling and narrative. His fine art pieces are featured on leading platforms like TurningArt.
