Paz Errazuriz




Today I will write and introduce to my favorite photographer: Paz Errazuriz. Paz has been my favorite photographer for many years, I have had visual and reflexive obsessions with her work.
She is considered one of the most outstanding photographers in Chile, she is National Visual Arts Prize. Her work has a special commitment to black and white portraiture, in which she explores various social issues, emphasizing the crudest worlds and trades of Chilean society.
Her latest book is in collaboration with the writer and biologist Jorge Díaz, and it seeks to broaden the discussions from a perspective embodied in blindness, seeks to address blindness as both a metaphor that has occupied art and literature for centuries, as well as a reality that is lived by thousands of people. What I like about Paz is that it captures images that are realistic and at the same time loaded with poetry. Among her best-known series are: The fight against the angel (1987) dedicated to the world of boxing, The apple of Adam (1990) whose theme is the living conditions of transvestites and quick-change chileans, The infarction of the soul (1992-1994 ) composed of images of couples formed in the psychiatric hospital of Putaendo and Los Nómades del Mar (1991-1995) dedicated to the last living representatives of the Kawésqar ethnic group.

At the age of 16 I decided to raise money to travel the world, and since I always liked art and for me it was a great hobby painting and drawing, I decided to dedicate myself to this and collect money. I remember my first job to replicate figures of the human body, bones and muscles, for a medical student who was supposed to present an anatomy work. It was very challenging for me to deal with this because I never took a special drawing course and because I wanted to do a professional job to collect money, for that I decided to specialize and perfect the work. As I a very perfectionist, I decided to search for painting books and watch video tutorials that would help me practice and let go of the hand. Finally, after a while of practi...

The future

Hello everyone! How difficult it is to think about the future, and the truth is that after the alarming announcements that humanity's life on earth is about to be extinguished by the extraction and misuse of its natural resources at the hand of man , Today my  pronostic is alarming.  However, if I had been asked this question a couple of years ago, my answer would be that I would like to live in southern Chile in a small house away from the city and on the way to the mountain range, I see myself working as a geographer and perhaps researching urbanism and den sification of the cities, I would like to be living with my boyfriend and my beautiful kitten Anika. I still don't decide if I want to have kids someday. In addition, I would like to have an art workshop in my future home, where I can paint paintings and make different crafts, I have always liked the idea of spending my free time in a space just for me and my projects. On the world, I hope that the current climate crisi...
