Pablo Tapia











Pablo was born is Santiago, Chile. For a while he studied graphic design but his interests for aviation and engineering took him into a different life path.

Only after coming to Australia he was able to restart his interest in visual arts.

After graduating from The University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005 he began his studies in Renaissance Techniques with Charlie Sheard in Sydney.


''As an artist I’m interested in the relationship between techniques, our own mental processes of seeing and our emotional connection to subjects as they are revealed by light. Painting then becomes a playful way of experimenting, exploring and learning more about myself, the world around, and the time-honoured craft of making images on a two dimensional surface.''
