During the recent Art Basel Highlights Tour, artist Francisco Sierra guided us through his award-winning installation, “Guppy,” which features 48 miniature paintings displayed at Art Unlimited. Now, we had the opportunity to visit his studio and discover how his works are created, as well as what inspires and motivates him. Sierra has spent many years living with his musical family in a charming studio house surrounded by nature in Cottered.
Born in 1977 in Santiago, Chile, Francisco Sierra explores contemporary figurative art through his paintings. His works, often photorealistic, incorporate surreal elements to transform the seemingly obvious into something new and mysterious. A self-taught artist, he initially worked as a concert violinist before fully dedicating himself to painting in 2003. His award-winning pieces, which oscillate between hyperrealism and fantasy and blend high and low culture, pathos and triviality, delight with their uniqueness and resist categorization.
