Biography

Statement

Growing up in Chile during the transformative 1990s in a middle-class context provided a crucial window into global culture through the nascent internet, video games and diverse cable television programming. This early exposure profoundly shaped my artistic vision, fostering an awareness of varied perspectives and realities beyond my immediate surroundings.

My canvases become portraits of the imagined – individuals who, much like myself, carry the quiet weight of feeling like outsiders. They are figures imbued with unique inner landscapes, distinct abilities, and singular ways of navigating the world, often grappling with the complexities of understanding, accepting, and forging connections with others.

My painting process mirrors the fragmented and layered nature of these experiences, akin to a rapid channel shift. Discrete layers of information – emotions, thoughts, and external influences – momentarily coalesce, offering glimpses into the rich and often unseen inner worlds of these individuals. Through bold color palettes, fractured forms reminiscent of a digital age, and a dynamic interplay of textures, I aim to visually articulate the multifaceted nature of identity and the subtle nuances of human connection (or disconnection) within both natural and increasingly digitized urban contexts.

Through my work, I invite viewers to pause and engage with the intricate layers of human experience, particularly those perspectives that might feel marginalized or unseen. It’s about recognizing shared vulnerabilities and celebrating our diverse ways of navigating this technologically intertwined era. My role is to offer a point of resonance, fostering a more empathetic understanding of ourselves and each other within our complex, evolving reality.
