Eduardo Guelfenbein

Rhythmic Paintings..

Born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953, Eduardo Guelfenbein has kept a psychological tie to his country of origin whose nomadic nature tends to accentuate. Chile now seems like an almost inaccessible refuge after his constant peregrinations between countries such as England, the United States, Italy, Australia and now Paris where he lives and works. For many years, Latin America kept their artists at a distance not affording them the liberty of expression and , above all, the liberty of criticism which enables them to create. As exiles, many artists from these countries, where violence , intolerance and corruption were the norm, developed an interior existence,nourished by the dream of lands bathed in freedom, light and color.
