Bio
I studied Design at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, in the year 2000. Along with my Design career, I designed and produced showcases with which I acquired certain titles. In 2002, I traveled to Buenos Aires, where I learned engraving with the renowned artist Lucrecia Orloff. With her I ventured into the techniques of lithography and xylography. In 2010 I discovered clay sculpture; In 2011 I entered the workshop of the sculptor Haroldo Higa. In 2014 I also entered the workshop of the visual artist Olga Engelmann, where I learned Serigraphy (another engraving technique). In recent years, I have investigated new techniques in ceramics and embroidery. I opened my own workshop where he taught classes.

Statement
I am a Designer and Artist. I try to represent reality in my works using the "Naif" style. This is usually characterized by great simplicity affecting the naivety of child sensibility. It is characterized by its great simplicity in forms and in the use of very bright colors. As an artist I seek to find balance and harmony between these two realities, which seem divorced; the real world vs. the fantasy.
My works open a space in the memory of viewers to remind them that the simple activities we did as children, such as dancing, singing, flying, riding a bicycle, made us happy.
