JOAQUÍN VILLARINO · CONTEMPORARY PAINTER, CHILE
COMING SOON — GALERIA PATRICIA READY 2027
The Shedding
Eight large-scale paintings born from a live performance — a dancer moving across a divided canvas, mapping the stages of a life. Created during a period of profound personal transformation, The Shedding is Joaquín's most ambitious work to date. Solo exhibition coming soon.
"My work explores states of transition: what it means to shed one version of yourself while becoming another."
JOAQUÍN VILLARINO
