I grew up in Santiago, Chile, with the Andes as my backdrop. In my teenage years, I spent time camping and hiking in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Whether in the mountains, forests, or by a lake, I have always been drawn to observing nature.
Coming from a family of artists, pursuing art felt natural. I have always been fascinated by the sky and clouds—their shapes and colors constantly inspire me. Capturing them in my work has been both rewarding and challenging.
Photography has taught me to be present and attentive to light, while painting has instilled patience and reflection. My work is a combination of these lessons, merging the beauty and wisdom of nature. Over time, it has deepened my appreciation for life’s complexities.
My studio is located in Minneapolis, MN.
