Esteban Amaro (Santiago de Chile, 1987).
Visual artist and photographer blurring the limits of mediums like photography, sculpture, video, installation and AI; somewhere in between minimalism, the universal questions and the environment.
Redefining concepts like time, space, and immensity, conveying a profound connection and interrelation with the universe and with the environment. Rooted in experimentation, contemplation, and ancestral wisdom, Amaro crafts a reality that reinterprets our understanding of the world; a blend of natural and supernatural elements, shifts perception and invites exploration of the unknown.
Represented by Mahara + Co in Miami and ArtStar in New York, Amaro’s work have been exhibited in New York, Miami, London, Santiago de Chile, Concepción, Valparaíso and in the Metaverse, with important galleries and curators such as: Factoría Santa Rosa, Mahara + Co, Obscura, Artcrush Gallery, Monolith Gallery and more.
A selection of important recognitions include; finalist in the Lumen Prize Still Image category, second place in the International Photography Awards, finalist and exhibition in the young art competition at the MAVI Visual Arts Museum in Santiago de Chile, and honorable mentions in prestigious competitions such as the Minimalist Photography Awards, The Independent Photographer, Monochrome Awards and Fine Art Photography Awards.
