Big chilean artist

This post is a tribute of two big artist of the national scene that inspired me since i read about them when i was a kid.

Sergio Larraín was born in a rich home like the most of Larrain People. This fact allow him to travel around the world and know how the people lives. He always was a mystic man. He was interested in real feelings that he could not experiment normally so he left his house and lived with the poor childrens of the Mapocho river. He made a lot of photographies and was recognited by the Magnum Agency (the best honour of a photographer) and he worked there. His level of empaty helped him to capture very close pictures of people, like one time, when he captures portraits of the sicilian mafia family.  His last days he just left the photography because he found other state of mind and just take pictures of “satoris” or “Ilumination moments”.

A couple of years later, another big artist was born. Claudio Bravo was born in Maipú (maybe) and began drawing at school. I don’t know exactly how, he worked with the Sotheby Gallery and created his famous paintings of packets (a lot of mistery packets closed with all its details). He generally painting still life´s paintings but living in Morocco he worked with the human body too. His style is photorealism but his level of composition or color´s experiment is the thing that make him a great artist. He was always near of the Royalty and his topics tried to be universal. Larraín in other side, talk us about social injustices.  I love both of them but even today i cannot decide who is better :(
