Gorigoitia Karla | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Karla has great admiration for the committed dialogue of Oswaldo Guayasamin (Ecuadorian artist, twentieth century) as well as the chromatic richness of Wassily Kandinsky (Russian painter, nineteenth and twentieth centuries). For the Chilean artist, art is a stage that allows her to denounce social injustice. Two worlds coexist in it. The first cries, suffers, hates and destroys, while the other loves, protects, beautifies and builds. Thus she uses her painting to expel emotions spontaneously in order to express her indignation in a more intellectualized way. The eclectic work of the artist evokes both a colourful and expressive figuration and a typically Latin American magical surrealism.
