Jose Bacarreza is an artist from Santiago, Chile.
He expressed early an interest in art, promoted by his artist mother. When he was around 10 years old he came across a canvas for the first time, his mother gave him his first painting lesson. As a teenager after finishing high school, Bacarreza went on to study Fine Arts at the Finis Terrae University in Santiago, Chile. From the Informalist pictorial university after having started with traditional figurative painting as a child, Bacarreza began to develop abstraction in different ways and forms. Bacarreza has worked on commission with various well known brands, cultural centers and foundations. The eclecticism of his work over the years and its different periods have brought him back to figuration and realism, which is where he started as a child. His figurative works mainly oils, is inspired by periods such as the Baroque, the German Biedermeier period and some Russian artists from the XX century. Bacarreza moved to Australia in 2017 first living in Sydney on the East Coast and then in 2018 he moved to Perth on the West Coast which is where he now calls his home. He has just completed a successful exhibition at the Art Space Collective in Perth as part of the Fringe Festival at the beginning of this year. He is currently working on his next exhibition to be held in Sydney next year.
