N/T Painting

Raúl Pizarro, 1980. He is a figurative painter based in Santiago, Chile. Pizarro is one of the most prominent figurative painters in Chile. He received classical training as an apprentice to a disciple of the teacher Antonio López García (Spain). He took these skills and adapted them to his Latin roots, giving them a unique identity affected by his experience of having lived almost ten years between the United States, Europe and South Korea. Pizarro's work is inspired by the baroque. Explore universal and timeless themes, but link a narrative to the magical realism movement of Latin literature and urban culture. All concentrated in urban and everyday images, with emphasis on the human figure as a model. This narrative composes a new language, with relevance and contextualized to our days. His work has been exhibited both in Chile and internationally at relevant events such as the Ibero-American art fair of the Hangaram Museum in Seoul, the International Biennial of Argentina, World Art Dubai, The Other Art Fair in Chicago and the Biennial of the End of the World in Argentina to mention a few. He has also exhibited individually and collectively in Chile, South Korea, Japan, Costa Rica and the United States, among others.
