Curator:
Vicente Martí Solar / Chilean illustrator and visual artist
With more than 15 years of experience in the art world, he has collaborated with his works for important national and international media and brands.
"FineArt Latin America brings together works by renowned Latin American artists
contemporaries to present and disseminate them through their stores.
“Bienvenidos” is his first exhibition, which aims to present part of his catalogue of works and bring them closer to his public.
The selected pieces convey ideas and experiences that the artists wish to make transcend beyond the material world. We are faced with colours, compositions and textures that allow us to create universes where the important thing is the emotions and the possibility of illuminating the place where they will be exhibited."

01 • For the No water. For the No land
We are faced with the proposal of an artist with extensive experience and solidity, which is evident in each of his works. On this occasion it is “For No Water, for No Land”, a graphic piece that makes a direct reference to our Mapuche ancestors, mostly endowed with warm colors and a precise stroke of blue that gives a lot of dynamism to the composition, in which a group of elements are intertwined that tell us an intense and heartbreaking passage in the history of Chile.

02 • Lovely
Caribay M. Benavides is a well-rounded artist with an unmistakable and expressive stamp. Her compositions tend to dazzle us with a true celebration of color, a unique character design, a range of suggestive textures and a dazzling combination of the female figure and her playful vegetation. “Lovely” brilliantly condenses all the aforementioned elements, making it the perfect illustration to brighten up and fill with life any place where it is displayed.

04 • Hummingbirds 3 For fans of Mairene's work, it will not be a surprise to learn of her fascination with birds, their plumage, their color. Each time she addresses the aforementioned theme, she does so with complete propriety and manages to propose charismatic, harmonious and lively elements. “Colobries 3” offers us a classic and daring composition at the same time, traditional when it comes to centering all the components and risky when it comes to exposing them in a pattern mode through repetition, which makes this work a captivating and hypnotic piece.

05 • Hermit
We are faced with a versatile artist, with a social discourse that is often a wake-up call and alerts us to the world and the situations that surround us. “Ermitaño” is a work that stands out from the previous ones, presenting us with a fascinating mystical world, a piece full of fine details and enigmatic passages. Without a doubt, we will be able to immerse ourselves repeatedly in this graphic piece and we will always discover new details that are delicately resolved and illuminated.

06 • Osaka I
Minibandai has a powerful oriental influence in each of the components of its work, from its character design and sophisticated settings, to its delicate use of color. In “Osaka I”, Minibandai presents us with a timeless work that manages to faithfully, delicately and elegantly capture the spirit of this Japanese city, characterized by its abundant street commerce and the visual saturation produced by the numerous advertising signs. A simply dazzling graphic piece.

07 • Space Odyssey
We are faced with the proposal of an artist with extensive experience and solidity, which is evident in each of his works. On this occasion it is “For the No Water, for the No Land”, a graphic piece that makes a direct reference to our Mapuche ancestors, mostly endowed with warm colors and a precise stroke of blue that gives a lot of dynamism to the composition, in which a group of elements are intertwined that tell us an intense and heartbreaking passage from the history of Final Jofre.

08 • Sel'knam Warrior 04
Rosamente's graphic approach is constantly searching and constantly experimenting. Her work ranges from portraits (in various techniques and styles) to abstract architecture, altering both shapes and perspectives, but I think it is her illustrative approach focused on Selkman culture where she reaches one of her highest points. Realistic illustrations that focus all attention on her detailed character design and a warm chromatic system limited only to the use of red only manage to make her work shine.

09 • Release
Youkonejo offers us a graphic piece that tells us a story, but leaves the outcome to our free interpretation. A work that raises questions, that has both tenderness and malevolence and that manages to envelop us at first sight as well as its main character. The conceptualization of the work is risky, it will probably cause concern in more than one person, but for those interested in getting involved in graphic works that want to go a step further, it will be a delight, both at a chromatic, compositional and conceptual level.

10 • Paths
His approach leaves no room for doubt, and every time we see Blumoo's work we can recognise it. An artist with a unique approach and a totally personal language. Thanks to his work we can travel through space, discover psychedelic universes or move through abstract realities. Possessing a forceful graphic line, which draws equally from the world of graphic design and illustration, “Caminos” is a work that is a true invitation to travel within his infinite universe.
