Cristobal Ladron De Guevara

Born in Chile, 1971
arts had been everpresent in my life as i am a part of a family of artists
i started naturally drawing and continued later with formal studies and a continuos self development

My main art interests are in panting, illustration-drawing and photography. My work tends to be explorative and diverse in techniques and style, my subject matter surrounds human figure and condition .A bit of existencialism through different characters and mithycal figures that are conceived usually in a very fluent and spontaneous way. i admire the ancient an primitive works of art such as cave art, art of aztecs,native american, maya, african, egyptian, etc, in their sophisticated, powerfull, misterious and pure forms and contents. from today and for similar characteristics i will name a few: Jean dubuffet, Robert Rauschenberg,F. Bacon, J.M. Basquiat,Julian Schnabel,J.P Witkin, M. Barcel and more.
