Pascual Ovalle Chilean, b. 2001
Through his works, Pascual dives into the intricate world of identity, exploring the essence of places and the individuals who inhabit them. With a profound desire to tell stories, he creates scenes that delve into unexplored dimensions of our being.
Pascual Ovalle is an artist that although he did not go through formal art education, he has been developing his work in a self-taught way and relying on workshops such as painting at the Universidad Católica (Santiago, Chile) and the Foundation workshop at the University of the Arts London UAL (London, England) as well as other online workshops that have helped him to enrich his painting technique in order to carry out what he wants to communicate, a reflection of his inner world.
In 2023 he was selected in the VII Visual Arts Contest of Lo Barnechea obtaining the 2nd place prize, he also won the third place in the XXXII Painting Contest Arte en Vivo Librería Nacional and participated in the collective exhibition “Motivos Personales” in the Espacio O Gallery.
In 2024, he inaugurated his first solo exhibition entitled “Solar Exhibition” at Espacio O Gallery, and participated in the international fair Kiaf SEUL with Gallery Mark (Seoul, South Korea). He was also a finalist in the IX Artespacio Joven 2024 competition in Santiago, Chile.
Pascual lives and works in Santiago, Chile.
For me, art is a means to tell stories. Each narrative we read, tale we hear, or artwork we contemplate holds a unique and personal meaning for each of us, a reflection of our own being. In my works, I aspire to be a starting point: the beginning of a tale. My desire is for the viewer to discover a story unique to them and, through it, embark on a journey.
My work becomes a portal to the world of dreams. Here, I evoke scenes that touch the fantastical, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in narratives that whisper secrets and awaken the imagination.
Through my work, I explore identity, diving in the search for individuality in a world that often tries to homogenize us.
