My Artistic Evolution
Originally from Santiago, Chile, I grew up in my family's copper arts and crafts enterprise, igniting my passion for sculpting. My academic path included five years of architectural studies, leading to a transformative 30-year design journey in Barcelona as an industrial and graphic designer and image consultant. During this time, I also engaged in housing renovations and managed a tourist apartment website.
The first turning point arrived in 2014, when a reflective return to my arts and crafts roots in arts and crafts and early forays into sculpture ignited a profound shift. Embracing the path of a self-taught sculptor, I embarked on a remarkable journey utilizing humble materials like cardboard. Over the course nine years, I created collections centered on the human figure, inspired by personal narratives and global issues, particularly the struggles of the vulnerable for education. My mantra, "One sculpture in the street, one step in culture," drives me to transcend traditional artistic boundaries and position my work as cultural instruments, fostering a broader appreciation of art in unconventional spaces.
The current turning point entails presenting my concept to the public in order to attract funding from sponsors, involvement from local and international organizations, and communities interested in embracing and developing the project, which aims to improve outdoor common areas to enhance lives and absorb culture through art.
