Mexican sculptor Alejandro Santiago: 2501 MigrantesAlejandro Santiago Ramírez (1964 – 2013) was a Mexican painter and sculptor best known for his amazing sculpture series "2501 Migrantes". "The First Migrant" by Alejandro Santiago | 2501 Migrantes" by Bond Latin Gallery Santiago studied at the Centro de Educacion Artistica and was among the first graduates of the Rufino Tamayo Plastic Arts workshop. After living abroad in the US and Europe, Santiago returned to his hometown to find many of the former residents had migrated from southern Mexico to the United States in search of work. Some of the more colourful statues in the 2501 series In 2002, he started sculpting clay figures to place around the village to "repopulate" it and honour those who had left. Their faces are bizarrely misshapen and they are covered in tattoo-like markings. 2501 life-size ceramic statues is in the plaza in front of the Santo Domingo church Santiago said the idea to make 2,500 statues was inspired by the mass emigration of the villagers and also by the number of crosses he saw on a fence at the US—Mexican border (one for every person who died trying to cross). The 2,501st figure symbolized how there is always one more person willing to risk his life in the hope of finding a better one. He also said the extra sculpture represented his own migration.
