About the art
Artist statement
Through my works, I want to invoke the ancestral rituals and the connection that the native peoples of northern Chile had with nature and especially with the peaks of the Andes, mountains that they considered sacred, and that they venerated in their rituals and ceremonies, which were carried out at more than 5,000 meters where archaeological remains of ceramics and platforms built by them have been found.
My paintings propose ancestral cartographies, they evoke maps, views of the places where their ancestors live, of the peaks considered sacred, I try to capture that magic that each peak carries in my work.
