Ricardo Maffei (b. 1953, Santiago) began painting at a young age under the tutelage of Miguel Venegas, a renowned realist painter, where he encountered Claudio Bravo, who later became his teacher and mentor. Maffei resided in Spain for over a decade, frequently journeying to Bravo's workshop-house in Tangier, Morocco. In 1987, he held his inaugural solo exhibition at the EGAM Gallery in Madrid. By the late nineties, he debuted at the esteemed Marlborough Gallery in New York, marking his first solo exhibition in 2000. Maffei has participated in over 40 group exhibitions across cities like Miami, Paris, Dubai, Buenos Aires, and showcased his works in various international fairs including FIAC Paris, ARCO Madrid, Art Miami, ArteBA, Contemporary Istanbul, and Art Dubai, among others.
Benjamín Lira was born in 1950 in Santiago, Chile. He pursued his studies at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid and later at the Byam Shaw School of Arts in London. After returning to Chile, he continued to delve into the portrayal of the human form through various solo and group exhibitions. In 1977, he won an award at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago, which allowed him to study at the Pratt Institute in New York. Lira has contributed to group exhibitions at renowned galleries including Marlborough and Leila Taghinia-Milani in New York, Forum in Lima, Peru, and the Himalayas Museum in Shanghai, China. He also represented Chile at the 15th São Paulo Art Biennial. Moreover, Lira has showcased his work extensively in Chile, with exhibitions held at prestigious venues such as the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago, Sala Gasco, AMS Galería, among others.
Vicente Gajardo was born in Tomé, Chile, in 1953. He graduated from the University of Concepción with a Bachelor's degree in Art, specializing in Sculpture, in 1983. Gajardo has undertaken significant urban projects in various countries including Argentina, Mexico, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Morocco, and Portugal. Working primarily with granite, he draws inspiration from primitive, abstract, and minimalist art to express his ongoing fascination with pure forms. His sculptures, characterized by simplicity and duality, are assembled from large blocks, allowing him to create urban architectural imprints that project vertically, obliquely, and horizontally.
