About the Artist
PAOLA MUZIO SALDES
I was born in Viña del Mar, Chile on October 8, 1963. From a very young age my father, an architect,
introduced me into the art’s world. Pencils, brushes, colors, and creative work were part of my
family environment.
This led me to study industrial graphic design at the university of Valparaiso in Chile. There, I was
able to develop my passion for art and drawing and learning from very professional teachers. In
1986 I did my degree project on the life and work of a great Chilean artist, Nemesio Antunez, with
whom I later took painting classes.
Then, in 1987 I won a scholarship to study in “Universitá Degli Studi di Genova”, Santa Margherita,
Genove, Italy. Europe and the personal contact with classics and contemporary masterpieces
inspired me to develop my own work art.
Back from Italy, I worked in an advertising company as a graphic designer. Between, 1986 and the
nineties, I began to paint my first artworks. I participated in different exhibitions all over the
country and some collective exhibitions in Chile where two of her art pieces were selected for the
Valparaiso Art Biennial.
I am married, and I have two sons and two daughters. For a few years, I took a break from
professional painting because I gave some art classes and I worked in design.
In 2015 I took up professional painting again. Since then, I am inspired by nature and the sea.
through different techniques, I capture the optimistic energy that the diversity of colors, lights and
shapes gives me. Color plays an important role in my artworks. It is entrusted the task of conveying
concepts and feelings.
