STATEMENT

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool–for love–for your dreams–for the adventure of being alive.”
–Oriah Mountain Dreamer

BIO

I was born in Santiago de Chile. I grew up surrounded by trees, by fruits and thrushes. There was an apple tree, a cherry tree, a couple of plums, a fig tree. There were lemons, tangerines, pears, persimmons, cherries and peaches. There was a walnut tree, a willow tree, a vegetable garden with zucchini and raspberries. There was a vineyard of green grapes, sweet with seeds, always full of bees. The roses, the thorns of the roses. The mountain full of pines and eucalyptus. How this scenario forged my imagination is a mystery that with each step of the route reveals itself and gives me a little bit of light and color. I spend my days in the workshop losing track of time drawing, painting, cutting papers, designing, looking for nice fonts, writing in my little notebook, reading, researching and exploring different aspects of collage, screen printing, painting and illustration. Looking for my voice, listening to my voice. Learning every day. Life changes and so do I.
