About The Artwork

It is a confessional text written in one of my pillow cases installed over found woods, the wood path is made from found demolition woods, and the text I wrote originally in spanish, but I have an english translation for exhibitions abroad: '"The Will To Live" But the pain came afterwards. The fear, the blame, the hate, all that is hard and horrible in men, and an endless sorrow. I confined myself in bed wanting to disappear, rejecting warmth and cold, sounds, thoughts, the touch of my skin, my saliva sliding through my throat. I didn't want to be more than the blankets that refuged me; light, white, cool as air. I had ceased to sustain my humanity, I didn't want it, I didn't know if it belonged to me, it is that it had been stolen from me. I wasn't more than litter, that's what I had turned to, into a mass, into an object. But even when I had been stolen all that I am I never loose the will to live.'

I was born in 1987, Chile. I studied Fine Arts, sculpture, in the Fine Arts School of Viña del Mar, and currently I'm coursing a Ceramics specialty. I believe in the importance of telling stories, sharing ideas and thoughts, I believe in art that is free from preconceptions, and that flows genuinely in search of what is essential; that is my goal in life and arts, and the path I choose to follow is that of the exploration of my interior self. Because when we stand up and participate in the culture dialogue owning our individuality, we make visible the individualities of everybody else; masculinities, feminities, humanities; we stand out the raw material of which the human society has been built upon; the individual. I believe in the concept of cultural mosaic, and in the moment we exhibit we make sensible our existence in this mosaic. I like to perceive a sort of symbolism in concrete matter; found objects carry the contents of their history, my possessions are attached with my own biography, tools are filled with the evolution of human made purposes; and since matter equals energy, I do not exclude any medium or material when it comes to achieving my goal: the sincere development of my expressive will.
