Barcelona based photographer, born in Santiago de Chile.

 

My photography and video explore cities, culture and contemporary concerns. Through texts, I play with the thoughts arisen by the power of words, to generate a process of reflection or to invoke uplifted feelings and values. My art is the consequence of all my actions and decisions I have taken until today.

 

After studying a career in Communication and Public Relations at Santiago, I graduated with a Diploma in Photography at the School of Fine Arts and Design at Universidad Católica de Chile. I started my studies in Modern Art spending a long season in the United States, San Francisco, CA, and New York.   My career spans a decade in the fields of art, design, sculpture, and photography. In 2003, I was awarded the BancoEstado design award, with the piece of sculpture «Ábaco». The award resulted in an opportunity to spend a season in India and Asia, where my personal growth continued.

 

I´ve lived in Barcelona since 2004 , where I graduated with a Master in Marketing and Communication.  Since 2020, I started working in Video Editing and Animation. And I am the co-founder of Has Barcelona, a digital design agency of web design, where I bring my unique photographic vision approach, as well as my experience in communication and branding. I´m a film and music lover, and an amateur writer.  

 

About art, my interest began with the modern American art, with the explosion of the Pop art of the 60´s and the abstract expressionism of the 50´s. Then I took a trip in Europe studying the surrealists, guided by the book «Les Champs Magnetiques» by André Breton & Philippe Soupault and explored the practice of the automatic writing technique («la escritura automática»), and surrealism.  After this european trip, I had my first experince with the ambient and atmosphere of India and Asia. And my most recent interests include studies on Medieval Art, specifically in the periods of the 14th and 15th centuries. Because of its  sophistication on color, beauty and simbolism.
