Paulo Toledo is a Chilean artist (1976). He studied Technical Architectural Drawing at DUOC UC, Santiago de Chile and later Multimedia Production at AIEP in the same city. He began his career as an artist in 1995 in the city of Santiago, Chile. Later he traveled to Mexico in 2000 and studied painting at the San Ángel School in Mexico and attended the workshop of the renowned artist Sandro de Ponte.

The inspiration for his work comes from the urban universe. Each space and each person generate stories that he captures in his artworks, be they canvases, furniture, objects, murals, or sculptures. All these, loaded with meanings, are returned to the street and its people, democratizing artistic production in permanent interventions. The space then becomes a stage to express his particular vision of this world. The concepts of his work are a mixture of creativity and play, discipline and loyalty to the perspective of his inner child. Seeking the complicity of the public, he always connects with the surprise that his infinite fields of color give away.

“Resources are simple and found everywhere. For me, the world is a kind of canvas that reflects reality and the evolution of our stories. My creative process is born from any provocative event, whether daily or very profound, the difference does not matter. The relevant thing is to end up creating a work that connects with people and their contingency”.
