Santiago Figueroa

I am from Chile, I was born in 1984,now I am living in Berlin.
The art and painting in my case is a space for personal liberation, where development through the relief that freedom inside my being. Passing by the need to express a variety of feelings, and problems that go beyond what I can express through words. By naming the feelings, such as the need to rebel, to search for identity, or loneliness, I am reduced to the margins that these concepts set to words, in my case the wide painting margins and free of explanations.
The process of my painting was first a constant interest search and development of textures and compositional forms that study through the action of painting.
Acrylic has been the material which have more developed my work in painting settling down for their plasticity, color mixing facilities and above all fast drying, which at one point was made that has been discovered possibilities for textures through transparencies with different levels of dissolution of the material, and at another point, given its fast drying, the need for duty to act with speed, allowing the development of spontaneity, permitting, that momentum to an important place in my work the expression of the unconscious.

I am a self-taught artist.
