About

I am a visual artist who explores painting, screen printing, lighting and mixed media to bring colour and nature to life as a reflection of the landscape of my homeland. My years in Patagonia, Chile, exposed me daily to the wilderness and the unique austral light, teaching me how colour through light, atmosphere and temperature stamps memories of places in our minds. Memories become living experiences that fuse emotions with the living landscape around us.

Today I create immersive experiences through paintings, stage design, lighting and visuals to offer moments of pause and inner reflection. I work with Decorazon Gallery (USA, London) and AGallery Asia (HK, Singapore) and collaborate as Artist Director and Creative Project Director for events that bring together Latin American musicians, jazz and European scenes. I also design visuals and resources for promotion and at events, and I pursue multidisciplinary projects that connect community, environment and art.
