1. What inspired you to get involved in sculpture?

My interest for the visual arts began at an early age; I liked to draw travel adventures. My father was a 

painter and filmmaker, so our house had many art books that made me dream.

2. We have heard that you have visited several countries. Which one has had the greatest impact on you and your career?

Certainly having lived many years in Paris (France) and frequenting the most important museums was a great contribution to my development as an artist. The grandiose nature is also an important contribution: The Andes,The Amazon and the Patagonia are places that fill you with excitement and inspiration.

3. Did your family supported your desire of becoming a sculptor?

The support of my parents was natural and very positive when I decided to enter the School of Fine Arts in Chile.

4. We understand that you participated in the movement called “Visual Poetry” and” mail Art”, could you tell us about it?

Mail art began with William Deisler during the 60’s in Antofagasta, Chile and I participated actively in it as well as with Visual Poetry. Mail art means using the "mail" as an easy and economical way to visually communicate with other artists on the planet; visual signs are universal so it is easy to collaborate and relate to colleagues whose designs relate a similar ideology, protest or message of peace.

5. What artists have inspired you?

No doubt Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin

6. We have noticed the use of metal in several of your sculptures. Do you prefer this material? If so can you 

tell us why?

I prefer working metal because of its many possibilities such as welding, casting, cutting the material using various means such as plasma or lase; heights are reached easily and it expresses strength and lightness.

7. Have you thought about venturing into a different line of work?

I always want to experiment with new materials such as stone, ceramic, resin, etc., basically materials with which I have made my pieces. Yet, in the end, metal parts are the best medium for me. 

8. Could you talk about some of the prizes that you have been honored with?

The best memory is a first prize sculpting award in the student’s room at the University of Chile (60’s)

9. What advice would you give to young artists today?

The fundamental basis for the visual arts and design, sculpture, painting, engraving, etc. is drawing. And my advice is to be constantly and continually drawing. So that for those ideas, future projects, sculptures and paintings to emerge from the paper and pencil.
