Hello, Welcome to my page! :)
I focus on realistic landscapes, still lifes and portraits in oil, charcoal, pencil or pastels. Rendering people, places and events close to me gives me the means to share my vision of the world. I see art as a type of emotive communication and communion between the artist and those that experience the work and interpret it for themselves, thus partaking in it and making it their own.
In my portraits I try to expose the soul of each subject: the character, thoughts and feelings that make them unique in the world. My landscapes are those of my native Elqui Valley, the same as that of Nobel-prize-winning Gabriela Mistral as well as many other poets and artists, and in my still lifes I try to communicate vitality with colour.
