Reviewer Deborah Garwood in Art Critical magazine wrote that Santibañez often organizes her paintings on a "picture plane into a series of rectilinear compartments" to suggest "fur, grass, or other organic forms", and that her "mesmerizing techniques have great reserves of wit and conceptual depth."[14] Critic Holly Myers writing in the Los Angeles Times expressed a similar sentiment, adding that her work builds on several basic motifs, such as "grids, stripes and rows of jagged, grass-like tendrils", and that some of her paintings are "vividly seductive and sensual."[15] Reviewer Nectar Knuckles writing in ARTnews magazine described her art as structuring "natural phenomena into the kaleidoscopic worlds she creates in her abstract paintings".[8] Keith Shaw writing in the Berkshire Edge suggested that her patterns "subtly express natural form and intellectual design."[16]

Santibañez was born in 1964 in Paris, France,[17][18] studied microbiology and biochemistry before attending Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1985 to 1990, then moved to New York City.[17][2] She has a studio in New York City as well as in the Berkshires town of Otis, Massachusetts, with her husband and fellow artist, James Siena.[19][2][20]
