was eight years old to explore realism. She mixes ideas from &#8216;Alice in Wonderland&#8217; with real-life elements, drawing inspiration from Baroque techniques and incorporating numerous objects into her artworks. She invites viewers on a journey of delight in the details, where narrative experiences are captured within the work of art, like a story, where you can almost feel and touch the objects with your eyes. She has explored painting jackets, mugs, ceramics, bags, and painting pet\/human portraits in watercolor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is an Art Instructor in acrylic painting at You and I Paint Company in Canada. She has a showcase across Chile, USA, Canada, and France.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">She participated in artistic activities in high school and won contests where her painting was exhibited on one occasion in the Falabella store, Santiago in 2010 and honorable mentions such as &#8220;Paint your world with color&#8221; from the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada brand, in the year 2012. In 2016 she had her first exhibition at Sogno-cowork in Providencia during a talk about entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has shown her SOLO exhibition at Cultural Corporation of Central Station, CL (2019), Spectrum Miami Art week, US (2021), Vermilion Gallery, CL (2022), Canvas Art Bar, ON (2023), Howl\u00b4oowen at Bentway, ON (2023), Art Shopping Paris in Carrousel du Louvre, FR (2023), Art Battle Toronto, ON (2023), Art Symphony on Ontario Lake, ON (2023), Expo Autre Moi at Gallerie Au M\u00e9dicis, FR (2023), Art Jam Toronto (2024), Latin Fair Toronto (2024) and Toronto Outdoor Art Fair (2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">Her extensive production has been reflected by the moments she has experienced over the years, moving from her first paintings through a classical landscape and then entering the field of Medicine, she begins to mix radiological examinations with her art of her. Currently, the technique used by the artist is realism with a contemporary baroque style based on her photographs and models of her that she has made and she was inspired by her favorite movie Alice in Wonderland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-7 wp-block-social-links has-large-icon-size has-visible-labels has-icon-color is-style-logos-only\"><li style=\"color: #72506c;
