My artwork explores the connection of darkness and light within us, the complexity of layers that we show to others and to ourselves, as well as the parts that we keep in the shadows.
As an artist and psychologist, I am interested in exploring the connection between art and consciousness, and the healing aspect of the creative process. Painting for me is a way to be open to the moment, to be fully present in my body and mind.
My work is based on the internal process of memories, emotions and physical sensations from my home country, Chile. I am drawn to the desert and isolated places, where I connect me with my origins and myself, bringing back those memories and perception into my paintings.
