Pablo was born is Santiago, Chile. For a while he studied graphic design but his interests for aviation and engineering took him into a different life path. Only after coming to Australia he was able to restart his interest in visual arts.
After graduating from The University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005 he began his studies in Renaissance Techniques with Charlie Sheard in Sydney.
Artist Statement:
As an
artist I’m interested in the relationship between techniques, our own mental
processes of seeing and our emotional connection to subjects as they are
revealed by light. Painting then becomes a playful way of experimenting,
exploring and learning more about myself, the world around, and the
time-honoured craft of making images on a two dimensional surface.
