Piece description from the artist
As the non-native iguanas multiply in South Florida they can be seen everywhere throughout the year. In the winter months, you can even find them paralyzed from the colder weather all over people's yards and on the streets. Iguanas are native to Central America, tropical parts of South America, and some Caribbean islands. But now they rule South Florida, one day while walking in my backyard in Oakland Park, Florida I came across this bright orange beast relaxing in the thick. Although naturally green around breeding season some iguanas turn orange to show dominance. This guy "Fire King" truly had everyone's attention.
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.
