I work with human figures, organic, but at the same time leaving much to the imagination. Women who inspire, divided, dual women who, although they find themselves alone, are capable of forming something beyond their individuality. Women ready to take flight and escape to another reality, an ideal reality beyond this world, guided by the immense inner strength that lives in all of us and that moves us every day. But not only women, human beings who, based on various motivations of the soul, come together and intertwine becoming a perfect complement. My works talks about the greatness of the spirit, about its unique ability to make everything possible which seems impossible to the eye of the unbeliever, about its infinite power that, although sometimes it seems to fade, burns in each one of us.
- Pamela Galleguillos Schiappacasse
Pamela Galleguillos Schiappacasse. Valparaíso . Chile.
In my DNA I have always been an artist. 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 continually caught my attention, leading me a few years later to study design in Santiago. For a long time I practiced the art of ceramics, I even became a teacher, but my curiosity and desire to grow were greater, so I began to practice new techniques using various materials and my own glazes. It is at this point that through working in clay my path towards three-dimensionality begins, a constant search that years later would lead me to discover a new world and with it a new stage in my life as an artist: bronze metal.
I studied in the workshop of Octavio Román, a sculptor with a degree from the University of Chile, who guided me in the art of sculpture and passed on his knowledge of important techniques; lost-wax casting in bronze and aluminum, marble carving, work with reconstituted stone and the use of resins. Over time, my personal work took shape: human figures, organic, but at the same time leaving much to the imagination, became a fundamental part of my work. Women who inspire, divided, dual women who, although they find themselves alone, are capable of forming something beyond their individuality. Women ready to take flight and escape to another reality, an ideal reality beyond this world, guided by the immense inner strength that lives in all of us and that moves us every day. And not only women, human beings who, based on various motivations of the soul, come together and intertwine becoming a perfect complement. This is what my work talks about, about the greatness of the spirit, about its unique ability to make possible everything that seems impossible to the eye of the unbeliever, about its infinite power that, although sometimes it seems to fade, burns in each one of us.
Slowly, but with increasing force, statuary made its way along this path of discovery, becoming a fundamental part of my career. I am currently the owner of Sculptures R&G, a leading artistic foundry in the field dedicated to the realization and restoration of statues and monuments, providing services to other artists and teaching sculpture classes. This new field of development has become one of the most important achievements of my career, giving me the opportunity to share my knowledge and concerns with renowned national artists and establish my work in various cities throughout Chile.
