Argentine-born, Brooklyn-based artist Chloe Galasso joins us to talk about building an artist’s life after years of constant travel; landing an O-1 “talent” visa, setting up her first dedicated studio in years, and rediscovering routine. We dig into her practice across oil painting and sculpture; why she avoids politics in the work; the metaphysics of “energy” as a guiding motif; and the craft behind surfaces, stretching raw linen, prepping grounds, pigments, and why layers matter. We also touch on community vs. solitude, drawing in museums, classical influences from Velázquez to Sargent, and what it means to feel safe enough to create. An intimate conversation about process, place, and the quiet joy of showing up to paint.
