Series

    30x30x30

    Between the months of August and September 2021, I made one painting a day for 30 continuous days, each measuring 30 x 30 cm, and then I put each of those paintings up for sale as an auction, starting at 30,000 Chilean pesos. This is the result of that idea.

    30x30x30/2

    The second version of the 30x30x30/2 turned out to be a series that aimed to improve the quality of the exercise, by being less strict with the execution time and creating only 15 works in total.

    4 Pounds per piece

    I plan to create 12 paintings inspired by Martin Gusinde's photographic archive. Each of these original paintings will be sold for 4 pounds, referencing Gusinde's account of hunters sending the skulls of murdered Indigenous people to the Anthropological Museum in London, which paid four pounds per head.

    Fever Dreams

    Geometrics

    Grisailles

    Sequence of urban-themed paintings, done in black and white.

    The Smurf-disasters of War

    <strong>The Smurf-disasters of War</strong> is a series of paintings based on the collection of engravings originally created by Goya between 1810 and 1815, about the Spanish War of Independence, <em>The Disasters of War</em>

    Totems

    Series of five still lifes of structures made with toy pieces acquired at flea markets, which were then assembled and chromed to serve as models.
