Bio/Statement:
Paula Subercaseaux’s practice explores the interrelations between movement, materiality, and the perceptual experience of nature. Working primarily with ceramics and watercolor, her work investigates how form arises through processes of motion and embodied gesture, and how states of stillness can preserve the trace or memory of movement. Her early training in watercolor was formative, establishing a foundational link between material exploration and sensory experiences rooted in childhood. Nature, and its profound connection to the human psyche, constitutes a central axis of her research. Through her work, Subercaseaux seeks to make perceptible the subtle and often hidden dynamics that operate within natural systems.
Paula Subercaseaux’s solo exhibitions include: Para Habitar el Caos Sensible, Galería Madre, Santiago (2024); Navegando VI, Galería XS, Santiago (2018); Leve, Galería XS, Santiago (2016).
