adios Print - Limited Edition of 1

I was born in Santiago in 1974. I lived and attended school in La Florida, a suburb south of the city. In 1995 I entered the school of art in Universidad Católica, graduating in 1999. In August 1997, in association with Carola Kappes, I founded AURAKAPPES, a non-profit artistic society in which, using the body as working material in performances or actions of art, Since 2012 I participated in Taller K, headed by the Chilean artist Klaudio Vidal. Since then my work reflects a strong influence from this engraving artist, resulting mainly in the technique of xylography. It is clearly recognizable in my work the persistence of the self-portrait, the body and its reflection in the same space and time. I believe that every work of art is a reflection of the artist’s self that projects the ego of an individual, who strives for recognition of his or her footsteps in a narcissistic gesture. By the middle of the year 2013 I founded with fellow artists Elisa Oropesa and Loreto Sapiaín “La Perla del Mercado,” an art collective located at the Biobío Persian market.
