BIOGRAPHY
Felipe Valdivia Infante
Born in Santiago-Chile on 1979. Works in advertising an visual art.
A HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES MORE “The photocopy of one of my hands, a man dressed up as a dog, a wool bread, the mustache of a man, the sadness of a face, the dream of making you the gift of a grand piano, fear in english, molars that broke, the soccer martir, the stories of my grand aunt and the dog ́s bite.
Between writing about my life and represent- ing it on a cloth, i decided on the last one”.
Valdivia, self-taught artist, has worked and experimented with materials he has found at home eversince he was 5 years old.
Fabric, yarn, wool, needles, photocopies, paint and pencils. Everything ends up in a piece of very contrast- ing elements.
A contemporary theme with materials of long historic tradition.
