About The Artwork

Landscape inspired by the city of Puerto Montt in the early 1940s, at that time the steam train tracks that reached the port passed through the narrow waterfront. In the city, the houses were made of wood, the architecture of which synthesized the German-Chilote influence. In the mid-19th century, hundreds of colonizers arrived from Germany, bringing progress to the south of Chile, and from the Big Island of Chiloé came the tile that consists of a larch wood cladding used by the islanders to coat the exterior of their houses. The square adorned with its picturesque gazebo that was dismantled in 1943. Unfortunately this city has lost much of its architectural heritage that has given way to huge buildings. The painting participated in a collective exhibition, along with other local painters depending on the Diego Rivera House of Art, Puerto Montt in 2017. The exhibition was called "Memoria Sepia" and the painting was sold months later.

I am a Self-taught Painter and Professional Graphic Designer. I live in the south of Chile in the city of Puerto Montt, Los Lagos Region. My city is the gateway to the Carretera Austral that reaches the city of Punta Arenas along some 2,537 kilometers (after there there is nothing else, only Antarctica). My region is rainy, full of forests, rivers, lakes and fjords. From Pto. Montt to the south, Chile is another country, it is almost inhospitable rural, unpaved roads, lush forests, unexplored islands, with a very low number of inhabitants per square kilometer, which is why it is highly desired by adventure tourism. whose tourists arrive eager to see the glaciers and volcanoes that we can find from the province of Palena whose forest beauty is unmatched, such is the case that an American environmental businessman Douglas Tompkins built the Pumalín Park of more than 17,000 hectares and which today belongs to CONAF (National Corporation for the Protection of Forests and Renewable Natural Resources). In this environment I have lived all my life surrounded by the coldest and most intense green on Earth (and beautiful by the way). When I was a child I traveled a lot on boats that transported people to the many islands in the region and the boats were made by hand, they were very different times of much folklore and ancient traditions with towns full of legends and myths. Today much of that has been lost because the paradigm has changed and modified the different behavior patterns of different societies and cultures worldwide; Today we live in the Internet age. The phenomenon of Globalization presents us with new challenges, it presents us with a wide range of different scenarios, we are filled with curiosity to look at what is in the window, we are seduced by the idea of opening doors and discovering... but what about the cultural identity? ? Well, you have to preserve cultural identity and cultivate cultural tourism. Practicing a good breathing and meditation exercise we can maintain concentration, the center of the soul, and make the globalized world a friendly place and feel lucky to enjoy such a wide palette. of colors… Here in the South of Chile we have the “Curanto con Chapalele” (typical food, you cannot leave without trying it) and not to mention the “chicha de manzana” (traditional drink); if he came and he doesn't like it, he never came.
