Santisima

If you like Dia de Los muertos, Mexican cultural art, this is your place!!! So much amazing colors and textures!!! My daughter said "mom this is your store!!" And she was not lying!! The vibe was so loving and chill! The art was amazing!! I cannot wait until I am better prepared to buy an amazing piece my eyes could not avoid!!!

The art is spectacular, intriguing and local. The gallery owner is a very nice man who can give you the background of the artists he carries. He is also a very talented artist himself. There is a lot of mass-produced tourist stuff in Old Town, but this is the real deal. I highly recommend checking it out.

The one and only Santisima Art Gallery with one of a kind original art (and numbered prints) from local New Mexican artists. Make this your "must stop" while in Old Town Albuquerque, NM. Tell Johnny, Andres Bienvenido and family from California sent you.

Dedicated to the day of the dead. Staff will not go out of their way to make you feel welcome but nice shop

This place of outstanding! Visited Labor Day weekend. Johnny could not have been nicer! I fell in love with a painting but didn't buy it. He suggested if I changed my mind he could ship it. I called a few weeks later to do just that. In my opinion he went above & beyond customer service. Use to be a normal thing but is lacking with most business nowadays. He took a picture just to make sure we were on the same page. Explained he would ship it out the next Tuesday & I received 4 days later!Just wished I lived back in Albuquerque again because this gallery is so very different. I just need more wall space!

My Husband and I happened upon the gallery and found the perfect piece of artwork. We will definitely keep in touch with Johnny. Thank you so much, Robert and Jason

Amazing artwork! I was blown away by the quality and craft of the majority of the artists work on display!

I always find an awesome piece of art here. The colors and selection are amazing. And Johnny, the owner, is fabulous to talk to. I come here every few weeks and he always remembers me. I plan to keep coming back. It's rare to find a dealer with so much LGBT artwork.

Old Town Albuquerque is a fun place to poke around but after a few blocks you'll find yourself quickly bored by the same cheap touristy nick-knacks over and over again. There are only so many Kachina dolls or turquoise necklaces you can stomach in a day. And then, in the midst of all of these tourist traps is Santisima - the type of gallery I came to Old Town searching for! Unlike most of the other folk art shops in the area, Santisima has truly unique artwork by exciting artists like Brandon Maldonado. It is art that's representative of the area and it's diverse culture but is also something that I would hang on my wall. The gallery is small but it hit the spot just right for me today. I easily could have scooped up 30 different pieces of art and left with a satisfied smile on my face. I will definitely be returning and grabbing a print or two before I head back home! The prices were reasonable enough to justify a spur-of-the-moment purchase for pretty much anyone.I also want to mention that the owner was great while I was there. He was just the right amount of friendliness sprinkled with enough 'I'll leave you alone to browse' to make me feel welcome. By far this was my favorite shop in the area and possibly the best I've been to in the city!

I love this gallery! We stop here every time we are in town. The owner and artist is wonderful! Showing off the beautiful shadow box that I purchased. Love it!!!
