Pamela G.Schiappacasse

Biography:

Pamela Escultora was born in Valparaíso, where, from a very young age, she studied music at the Conservatory of the University of Chile. Drawing and colors constantly captivated her, leading her years later to study design in Santiago. For a long time, Artist practiced the art of ceramics, even becoming a teacher. However, her curiosity and drive to evolve pushed her to explore new techniques, experimenting with different materials and developing her own glazes. It was through working with clay that her journey into three dimensionality began a continuous exploration that, years later, led her to discover a new world and, with it, a new chapter in her artistic career: bronze.
Pamela Escultora studied in the workshop of Octavio Román, a sculptor and graduate of the University of Chile, who guided her in the art of sculpture and taught her fundamental techniques: lost-wax casting in bronze and aluminum, marble carving, working with reconstituted stone, and the use of resins.

Over time, her personal style took shape organic yet evocative human figures that leave room for the imagination. Women who inspire, divided yet dual, who, despite standing alone, have the power to become something greater than themselves.
Women prepared to take ight, to escape into another reality an ideal one beyond this world guided by the immense inner strength that resides in all of us and moves us forward each day. But not only women human beings who, driven by the deepest motivations of the soul, come together and intertwine, becoming perfect complements to one another.
This is what Artist’s work speaks of the greatness of the spirit, its unique ability to make the impossible possible, and its infinite power that, even when it seems to fade, continues to burn within each of us. Slowly but steadily, monumental sculpture became a fundamental part of her artistic journey. Today, Artist is the founder of Esculturas R&G, a leading artistic foundry specializing in the creation and restoration of statues and monuments, providing services to fellow artists, and offering sculpture classes.
This new chapter has been one of the most significant milestones of her career, allowing her to share her
knowledge and vision with renowned Chilean artists and establish Artist’s work in various cities across Chile.

Statement:

“As a sculptor, my work is a reflection of spirituality, where metal and glass are converted into vehicles of light, truth, and harmony. Every piece is born from my hands: I smelt the metal, model or blow the glass, sculpt the shapes, nish and mount each figure, ensuring that the whole process is an integral expression of my vision.
In my series called “Dualidad”, meaning Duality, I explore the union of opposites through the feminine figure, highlighting its transformative role in society.
In fusing two contrasting parts in one entity, my work invites you to reflect upon integration, the expansion of conscience, and the capacity to bring more light to the world.
More than objects, my sculptures are portals to what is essential: dialogues between matter and energy, between what is visible and invisible with the purpose of uniting the world above with the world below, connecting the spiritual with the earthly”.
