To me, art is the megaphone of the soul.

Karla Gorigoitia is a Chilean artist. Thanks to her studies in Plastic and Dramatic Arts, she fuses these fields and uses theatrical techniques to give life to different characters, diverting them and creating masks. Interested in color, matter and paper tearing, the artist combines acrylic, collage and writing in her pictorial compositions. Each of her canvases can be seen as a play, with the text hidden behind the colors. She has exhibited in Europe, the United States, Latin America and China.

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.
