Motivos Personales, painting in the age of Artificial Intelligence features the work of seven young contemporary Chilean artists who present their unique perspectives and the themes they believe should be represented through painting
Motivos Personales is an exhibition that delves into the complexity of choosing what to paint and creating realities through painting. It recognizes and values the issues that motivate each creator to convey. The artists participating in this exhibition are Catalina Torres, Juan Pablo Mejías, Paula Solís, André Strahinja, Paula Martínez, Pascual Ovalle, and Fernanda Alcalde. This exhibition offers an intimate and personal view of the participating artists, who explore the theme of identity from various perspectives.
Through their works, Juan Pablo Mejías, Paula Martínez, Pascual Ovalle, and André Strahinja delve into their inner world and explore portraiture, with the person as their creative motive. On the other hand, there are Catalina Torres, Fernanda Alcalde, and Paula Solís, who take as pictorial motifs interpretations and investigations of the environment and its function in relation to how we can capture it and how the motifs we choose to paint speak about ourselves.
The Motivos Personales exhibition is an opportunity to immerse oneself in the richness of contemporary painting from the new Chilean generation and explore the various ways in which artists employ the palette, textures, and techniques to express their own motives and experiences. From detailed portraits to constructed environments, each work reveals a unique and evocative narrative and is a celebration of subjectivity. It appeals to empathy by striving to understand the gaze of the other, a fundamental exercise in these times.
