By chance, I once stopped at a framing shop and noticed a pile of discarded wooden frames. I began collecting them, drawn to the idea of giving them a second life.
Each fragment carries memory, traces of past uses, different hands, and forgotten stories. Their variations in color, texture, and form become the starting point of my work.
Through a slow and meticulous process, I assemble these elements into new compositions. What was once overlooked is transformed into something intentional, where material, time, and transformation become visible.
My practice explores the tension between order and unpredictability. I construct geometric structures in a modular way, almost like pixels, where each fragment contributes to shaping a larger whole.
This process is both intuitive and precise, a patient act of rebuilding meaning through matter. The result is a body of work that reveals a quiet poetry within the fragment, where memory, structure, and light converge into a contemporary visual language.

I was born and live in Santiago, Chile. I studied Architecture at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and later completed a Diploma in Visual Arts at the same institution. I have participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Chile and abroad.

My background in architecture continues to shape the way I conceive each work. While my early practice focused on reinterpreting the Chilean landscape, my work has evolved toward constructing new ways of seeing everyday objects and discarded materials.

What often goes unnoticed becomes, for me, a source of fascination. I seek to reveal a sense of order within apparent disorder, exploring how fragments and waste reflect the rapid transformations of the contemporary world.
