Self Taught artist with complementary sculpture and human anatomy studies in Buenos Aires, Argentina
I would describe my work as a search for painting, experimentation and recognition of material behaviour when facing a canvas. My main thematic is the process of painting itself, and through this process, I can express the different scenes that I represent.
Oil as a medium allows me to work with many layers and transparencies, and based on constant insistence, many causalities or “errors” are left, and those eventualities, for me, are what gives life to each piece. Throughout the time, I’ve learned how to control the behaviour of the materials, but always each work has a certain life, so the final piece has a freshness and looseness that is pleasing to the observer, despite that the image displayed somehow is disturbing.

Felipe Achondo is a contemporary Chilean painter. The search for painting, experimentation, and recognition of material behavior when working with a canvas are how the artist describes his work. His primary subject matter is the process of painting itself, and it is through this act that he is able to convey the various scenes that he depicts.
Oil provides him the flexibility to work with numerous layers and transparencies, and because of his relentless persistence, many casualties or "errors" are left behind. For the artist, these eventualities are what give each painting life. He has developed his ability to manage the behavior of the materials through time, yet each piece always has a certain liveliness, giving the finished product a freshness and looseness that appeals to the viewer even though the image being exhibited is somewhat unsettling.
Felipe Achondo was born in 1982, in Chile.
