Biography & CV
Pablo Jansana (b. 1976, Chile) is a multi-disciplinary artist working with painting, sculpture and text. Jansana completed his BFA at Universidad Finis Terrae, Santiago, Chile before moving to New York in 2008, where he studied at the School of Visual Arts and took part in the International Studio and Curatorial Program from 2009-2010. Since 2019, the artist has been living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Jansana’s eclectic use of materials – including oil, watercolour, enamel, resin, wood and clay – feeds a continuous exploration of the space for reinterpretation, one that is located between images when accumulating, layering, erasing, or covering them up. Jansana is interested in materiality and how materials can themselves generate meaning, in juxtapositions of historical, personal and fictive worlds, and in creating work that draws us into psycho-dramatic narratives and states of being.
The artist is represented in various public collections, including The Rema Hort Mann Foundation, New York, USA, Ministerio de Cultura y de las Artes, Chile, Museo de Arte Moderno de Chiloe, Chile and CSAV, Santiago, Chile
