Guillermo Lorca is one of Chile’s most renowned contemporary visual artists, internationally recognized for his large-scale oil paintings that blend Neo-Baroque style with dreamlike, theatrical atmospheres.
His work fuses classical technique with symbolic narratives where beauty meets unease, and innocence coexists with primal forces. His paintings feature archetypal girls, powerful animals, and enigmatic feminine figures in emotionally charged scenes.
Lorca has exhibited at major art institutions such as the National Museum of Fine Arts in Chile (2014), the MOCO Museum in Barcelona (2022–2025), and has held significant exhibitions in London (Asprey, 2019), Seoul (Tang Contemporary Art, 2024), and Mexico City (Hilario Galguera Gallery, 2012).
Through his figurative painting, Lorca builds a modern mythology that leaves a lasting impact on contemporary art.
