My work consists of three major projects developed throughout my career: El Porqué de Valparaíso (Why Valparaíso?), La Huella del Tiempo (The Footprint of Time), and Del Salitre a Iquique (From Saltpeter to Iquique). It is vital to experience the geographical and ethnographic spaces in situ, in order to connect emotionally and intellectually with my painting. I have traversed the Atacama Desert, Valparaíso, and the southernmost region of Chile, to then recreate and interpret them in the solitude of my studio. My fourth project, Entre Marruecos y la India (Between Morocco and India), on which I am currently working, aims mainly to explore opposite cultures that join together for a common purpose.

In my designs, I mostly inspired with the cultural environment that I have been. The geography I live has a rich historical past, which has been host to many different cultures for centuries. Legends, laments, tales, belief systems, and tragedies are still part of our lives. Endless fights and political games are normal for the life of each of us in these lands. Here, all these rich cultural accumulations and intensive political agendas are the source of my designs.
