ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The image rests in a limbo between abstract and figurative. Looked at closely, it's just abstract marks and lots of layers... from the distance it gains its real dimension and the subject is revealed. The figures have been hidden just as if they were hunting in real life. I appreciate when the observer gets to see them, the surprise from discovering something that was always there, so big, just in front of them. It seems that I can be inside their minds, pushing a little button that will shock right into their imagination... This work was a challenge to myself and a step further in my practice, as I've worked focused on the big picture instead of saving little details. The hunt became no longer an animal hunt, but more of a creative one.

I grew up in Santiago de Chile, observing the wonderful landscapes in the south of my country. My inspiration comes from common places and situations, fleeting moments, nature, impressionism... and contemporary artists such as P. Doig, A.Ghenie, A.Kanevsky. I hope that viewers will see their own stories in my work and maybe remember something they had forgotten. I was voted Chilean Artist of the Year in 2022, which was a great honour. My works are mainly figurative, exploring colour relations by adding layers and layers onto my compositions. I grow from trying the unconventional way. My toy box has many mediums, from traditional pencils to acrylics in spray. I enjoy experimenting, mixing up, so finally you can't really tell how the work was painted. Today I am a full time painter based in Chile, open to projects and commissions.
