About the Artist
Felipe García-Huidobro is a Chilean-US interdisciplinary artist whose work spans art, design, filmmaking, and architecture. By merging materials and concepts, Huidobro creates immersive spaces that challenge the viewer’s perception.
His art often intertwines layers of matter with historical narratives that accumulate over time, exploring the intersections between disciplines. Through collage, video, prints, sculpture, and installation, Huidobro invites a deeper reflection on how cultural stories and environments shape our perception and experience of space.
Huidobro’s creative process is characterized by the superimposition, transforming them into complex forms that resonate with both the physical and historical layers of urban landscapes. This approach invites viewers to reconsider how they experience and inhabit space, offering a more nuanced understanding of their surroundings.
A recipient of multiple awards from US and Chilean institutions, Huidobro holds a Master’s degree in Art from the Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya, Barcelona Spain, and a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the Universidad Finis Terrae, Santiago Chile.
