– Casa Wabi 2021

Community Project

La Trilogía de las Serpientes – Casa Wabi
The project aims to create a series of sculptures carved in wood for which drawings of children from the surrounding CW communities will be used as a sketch. In this way, the own creations of the children of the communities will be materialized in sculptural volumes. Once the sculpture series is finished, it will be permanently installed in one or more educational establishments or common areas within said communities.
The project seeks the installation of a series of carved wooden sculptures in educational establishments or common areas within the neighboring communities of FCW, aiming to bring the arts closer to the children of the communities through their direct participation in the design of the sculptures, which will be located in their own educational precincts.

In a strictly sculptural way, his work transits between public and private spaces. The urban environment has been in his most recent works a house to the production of urban monuments: large-format works installed stealthily in different specific places in the cities. At the same time, small and medium format works are executed for closed exhibition spaces: galleries and cultural centers.
The formality of his sculptures runs through the use of various materials, ranging from bronze, wood and bone to collected items. Despite the quality of static balance that the sculptural volumes present, his work is gestated from a journey: a specific derivative destined to the recognition and observation of particular elements of the environment as a means for sculptural creation.
Pablo has shown his work in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Mexico and New York, in various cultural centers and festivals, among which the following stand out: the recent group show at the Museum of Visual Arts (MAVI) in 2020, the individual exhibition in the National Museum of Fine Arts MNBA, 2018; the M100 Cultural Center with Fósil, the Gabriela Mistral GAM Cultural Center and the National Center for Contemporary Art with the sculptural intervention Jauría, Chile, 2017; Mapocho at the Sagrada Merchandise gallery, Chile 2016; at the Biennial of Latin American Art in Bronx, NY in 2014; at the International Festival of Public Art IPAF and the Nómada exhibition at the Ex Teresa Museum, Mexico, 2015; at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chile (MAC) in 2012; Gallery XS in the solo exhibition Emergency Series in 2013.
