I am Photographer and MD. I mainly portrait living and non-living beings, where the anthropological, the social and the symbolic coexist.
I have done my artistic training independently, through workshops, courses and a diploma in Aesthetics of Photography at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
I have had individual exhibitions such as “País de la Ausencia” (2010), “Fronteras” (2012) and “Diez Minutos” (2014), exhibited in various regions of Chile. I have participated in national (Valparaíso, Coquimbo, Concepción and Santiago) and international group exhibitions (USA, Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina).
In 2010 I published the photography book “País de la Ausencia” which is linked to the poetry of Gabriela Mistral, distributed in Chile, Germany, Argentina and Brazil.
