Automatic Painting
Peinture automatique
Free energy / Automatic painting (2001–2004). Like the automatic writing dear to the surrealists, this way of painting gives free rein to the imagination before the canvas — raw, full, instinctive, spontaneous — moving away from Chilean subjects towards more universal ones.
Materials: paper, oil, acrylic, plaster.
