About

Hola! I'm Patricia, or Paty :-) I've been a working artist since the 1990s. Over the last 30+ years, I've journeyed through various phases of life, each shaping my perspective and my art. Drawing from my roots in Chile and now surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Sweden, I've been immersed in diverse cultures that have profoundly shaped my work.

Today, as a grandmother navigating life in a foreign land, I'm continually inspired by the beauty and sense of community that surrounds me. Painting is more than a passion—it's my full-time pursuit, allowing me to immerse myself entirely in my craft. My canvases burst with color, mirroring the vibrancy of my newfound surroundings.

Drawing from the modern themes of Scandinavian design and the vivid imagery of nature, my art takes on a playful yet realistic quality. I aim to disrupt the neutrality of Scandinavian spaces, infusing them with personality and warmth through bold strokes and vibrant hues.

Over the years, my dedication to art has been seen in exhibitions around the world—in Chile, Hungary, the USA, and collective showcases in Estonia. My artistic journey has been a testament to my unique perspective on light, color, and emotion.

Each painting I create is a reflection of my distinct approach, characterized by a keen focus on contrast, light, and shadows. Through my work, I strive to leave a lasting impression, bringing joy, inspiration, and a sense of connection to those who encounter it.

With my team at Palcayaga, our commitment extends beyond creating art; we also prioritize sustainability, support for local communities, and the preservation of a cherished family legacy. Aligned with the values upheld by numerous Swedish woman-led businesses, our mission emphasizes community impact and sustainable practices. We firmly believe in the transformative power of art to uplift and unite, a principle we integrate into every decision we make.
