[The different aspects of my work]
Sculpture is more than form; it is expression, technique, and transformation. Throughout my career, I have explored different facets of this art, from personal creations to large-scale monuments, always seeking to bring each piece to life with precision and emotion.

Art has always been in my DNA. I was born in Valparaíso, where, from a very young age, I studied music at the Conservatory of the University of Chile. Drawing and colors constantly captivated me, leading me years later to study design in Santiago. For a long time, I practiced the art of ceramics, even becoming a teacher. However, my curiosity and drive to evolve pushed me to explore new techniques, experimenting with different materials and developing my own glazes. It was through working with clay that my journey into three-dimensionality began—a continuous exploration that, years later, led me to discover a new world and, with it, a new chapter in my artistic career: bronze.
I studied in the workshop of Octavio Román, a sculptor and graduate of the University of Chile, who guided me in the art of sculpture and taught me fundamental techniques: lost-wax casting in bronze and aluminum, marble carving, working with reconstituted stone, and the use of resins. Over time, my personal style took shape—organic yet evocative human figures that leave room for the imagination. Women who inspire, divided yet dual, who, despite standing alone, have the power to become something greater than themselves. Women prepared to take flight, to escape into another reality—an ideal one beyond this world—guided by the immense inner strength that resides in all of us and moves us forward each day. But not only women—human beings who, driven by the deepest motivations of the soul, come together and intertwine, becoming perfect complements to one another. This is what my work speaks of—the greatness of the spirit, its unique ability to make the impossible possible, and its infinite power that, even when it seems to fade, continues to burn within each of us.
Slowly but steadily, monumental sculpture became a fundamental part of my artistic journey. Today, I am the founder of Esculturas R&G, a leading artistic foundry specializing in the creation and restoration of statues and monuments, providing services to fellow artists, and offering sculpture classes. This new chapter has been one of the most significant milestones of my career, allowing me to share my knowledge and vision with renowned Chilean artists and establish my work in various cities across Chile.
