Pilar González

I was born in Santiago de Chile but have lived in Sweden since the mid-1970s. I was just a child when I started to paint even
before I acquired proper paint, I explored different
natural materials to express my thoughts and feelings.
Today I still use a wide variety of materials and techniques in my artistic work, which consists of painting, sculpture and graphic art. I sing and write poetry. I am inspired by Nature, human encounters, and everything that happens around me, but above all by my dreams of a better world. A world in which nothing is impossible, light always exists and love is always present.

Within the language of my colours an invitation to a boundless dialogue is always present; I call my art the Art of Telling.


The life and love, my fellow beings, musik,dreams, experiens, silence,feelings, remembers...everything around me, give inspirations to my artwork.I use meny different techniques: wathercolour, oil, acrylic,pastel, drawing etc. Sculpture: marble, bronze, plaster, ceramic, wood, glas, etc. Graphic art, among other:etching, litographi,computer graphic etc.
