I am a Chilean-French visual artist whose practice is shaped by experiences of isolation and social distance during my childhood in Chile under the military dictatorship. Growing up as the only girl among six siblings, my work emerges from the intersection of solitude and collective awareness, addressing structures of patriarchy, cultural identity, gender roles, and vulnerability. My artistic process is driven by an insatiable search for information and grounded in lived experience. Working across multiple media, I investigate perceptual phenomena and the construction of fear, examining how systemic mechanisms shape individual and collective consciousness. I approach experience itself as a means to activate awareness and critical reflection. My interdisciplinary practice brings together traditional and contemporary techniques, including photography, video, performance, sculpture, printmaking, and interactive media. Through the dislocation and transformation of materials and forms, I question the limits of visual and emotional perception, seeking to transcend individual experience while heightening awareness of broader social and environmental contexts. My projects often engage with landscapes, systems, and events that reveal tensions between human connectivity and solitude, knowledge and uncertainty, control and vulnerability. By working through abstraction and sensory immersion, I aim to draw attention to the conditions that shape perception and collective responsibility.
Growing up in Chile as the only girl of six children during the Chilean dictatorship, I was familiar with profound solitude from an early age, experiencing first the effects of social distance, but also physical detachment that resulted from childhood illness. These circumstances inform my artistic practice, as I explore from the intersection of isolation and collective awareness ideas of patriarchy, cultural identity, and gender roles. My practice, as a way of rectifying the past, is marked by an insatiable search for information. Drawing from my life experiences I use different media to investigate the phenomena of perception, focusing on the importance of the experience, to make a call to action. My work is a confrontation of fear and the consequences of its manipulation, challenging systemic viewpoints, and the human psyche, to investigate the vulnerability both individual and collective. This translates as an interdisciplinary practice where new and traditional techniques converge, including photography, video, performance, sculpture, printmaking, and interactive media. My work often consists of the dislocation of media, objects and forms in order to convert and abstract them, to talk about the boundaries of visual and emotional perception. Departing from an exercise of wonder, I intend to explore the transcendence of individual reality and the heightened awareness of our surroundings.
