Andres Valle

I am a Chilean visual artist and architect based in Santiago. My work explores the city as a place of memory, identity and everyday life.

Drawing from my architectural background, I am interested in buildings not simply as objects, but as settings for human experience. Storefronts, streets, signs, interiors and familiar urban places become a way of preserving moments that are constantly disappearing or changing.

I work primarily with acrylic markers on paper, using precise architectural drawing alongside bold color, graphic elements and expressive human figures. This combination allows me to move between observation and memory, creating scenes that feel both real and slightly reimagined.

Santiago and New York have been particularly important influences on my work. Rather than documenting these cities literally, I am interested in the emotional relationship we develop with the places we inhabit: the corner store we remember, a crowded street, a neighborhood restaurant, or an ordinary building that unexpectedly becomes part of our personal history.

My work ultimately seeks to celebrate the character of cities and the people who give them life.
