About the Artist

Bio

The artist is a Chilean visual artist working in acrylic and colored pencil, exploring the intersection of figuration and abstraction. His work shifts between vibrant chromatic compositions and darker tonal environments, creating a sense of emotional duality where intensity and restraint coexist. Figures emerge within layered surfaces, suggesting memory, presence, and transformation rather than fixed narrative. Influenced by a deep interest in nature and Asian art and culture, his practice draws on principles of balance and visual rhythm. These influences are not literal references, but are instead integrated into his approach to composition and spatial structure. Through this disciplined approach to abstraction, he develops a visual language that is precise and layered, where figurative elements are carefully constructed with broader fields of abstraction
