A painter, printmaker, and architect born in Rancagua in 1968, he lived in Quilpué from 1970 to 1983. He began painting in 1993 and has since built a rich, twenty-five-year career in painting and printmaking. His work is rooted in drawing, bridging the gap between the sketch and color; for years, he has explored chromatic paths, uniquely reinterpreting hillside landscapes—ranging from the rural setting of Quilpué to the urban landscape of Valparaíso. Through drawing, he constructs atmospheric spaces by layering images observed from a 360-degree perspective, fusing planes and intersecting colors; in doing so, he has developed an original way of interpreting the landscape—both chromatically and tectonically—through color and movement.
He has experimented with various techniques, including drawing, oil painting, and metal engraving. He has exhibited in major cultural venues in Valparaíso and Santiago, boasting a distinguished career as an artist with a portfolio of projects that have been launched, published, and exhibited. He is a painter who also practices as an architect specializing in heritage.
