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.
