The Chilean visual artist Francisca Sutil reflects on her artistic journey, from discovering the transformative power of color to crafting her unique abstract visual language. She recounts her move to New York in the 1970s, where her exploration of handmade paper techniques shaped her creative process, alongside encountering the influential works of artists like Mark Rothko and Ellsworth Kelly.

Her work explores personal experiences, emotional depth, and the interplay between perception and feeling. Recently, she has focused on nature's forms and landscapes, creating a dialogue with the external world. Sutil aims to evoke a deep response in the viewer, serving as a mirror to their inner world. For her, the greatest joy of being an artist lies in the unexpected discoveries that emerge through the immersive connection between the mind, the gesture, and the canvas.
