My interest alway was the representation of cultures forgotten in the time, the precolombine art keeps all my atention in the first year. This subject develope in me the interest to learn about the culture it was before the came the spanish invaders, in Chile there were many cultures, but one took my antetion, the Mapuche people.

The study of their artistic production and the representation of themselves is not sufficient for me, introduce me in their culture  it was crucial, so, i toke the determination learn their lenguage.
