The Lovers II by Victor Hugo Nuñez
Woodcut on paper Guarro Biblos 250g, Edition of 33, Framed, 2013, Chili
Size 44.1” x 29.5”
Victor’s artistic journey is a rich tapestry of education and accolades. His initial training under Gracia Barrios at the School of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile laid the groundwork for a diverse education that included design, ceramics, and even music. His sculptural specialization under Ricardo Mesa and subsequent roles as an educator highlight his deepening commitment to art.
His selection to represent Chile in 1973 and the subsequent political upheaval that led to his asylum in Mexico mark a pivotal chapter in his life. His work, celebrated in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City and honored with prestigious awards, reflects his resilience and adaptability.
The culmination of his experiences was perhaps best showcased in the “Eternal Mexico: Art and Permanence” exhibition at the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City, where his work stood alongside that of pre-Hispanic, colonial, and contemporary artists, affirming his place in the continuum of artistic expression. Victor’s narrative is one of enduring passion and a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries.
