Presentation

 Hi, my name is Mauricio Bustos, I'm 28 years old. I study Plastic Art at Universidad de Chile and my main workshop in the University is "Orfebrería". I like this workshop because I like creating metal masks. 

An artist who influenced my work is my teacher Tanya Maluenda, who also supported me as well.

One of the most famous artists that everyone must know is the French artist, Marcel Duchamp. He was also known for being a chess player and for being a great influence for the pop movement in the XX century.

I like working with organic material, as metal, because, for me, it has an extra value, which is that this kind of material is from the earth and it belongs to the nature, where the creation of everything begins, and as raw material has the property of being noble and it gets an special meaning for being one of the most ancients professions in the human history.
