"I received and assumed sculpture in a ‘Perimontu’ (in Mapudungun it means ‘a foreboding dream’). At the time, I was studying Art Pedagogy at university. Even though I had developed manual skills as a child - drawing, painting, making my own toys and working with wood – it was in this intense moment that I woke up, took paper and pencil, and drew the vision that I had just had, then I turned out the light and went to sleep again. My life had changed forever… 

​

Several decades have passed since then and the path travelled, the learning acquired, have been guided by impulses of the heart, very rarely have they been led by reason. And so, in this way, my work has been mutating. As soon as I left university, and as I begun to explore and blend with the indigenous cultures of America, my world view ended up collapsing to give way to the possibility that there are parallel realities that we have lost the possibility of recognizing and moving through them, but that there is still hope of regaining that virtue.

​

 This craft of sculpture has allowed me to feel, to some degree, that there is a causal link in what is apparently coincidental. Thus, many of my sculptures are the result of variables that I do not control or the gathering of different materials, collected in different eras and places to give a new vitality to these inert elements, but which have enough energy to use the sculptor as the catalyst that will bring them back to life."”
