Some years ago, while touring an art gallery in the city of Santiago, by those coincidences of life I found myself in front of some works by Roberto Matta. I observed and analyzed them for a few minutes and let myself be enveloped by that kind of spatial landscape, by the characters and by the cube. I knew his works and history, but I think that in that moment of "envelopment" was when I was infected with the "Matta virus", from which -unfortunately- I never got cured. Since that day, destiny has pushed me towards his works and that small treasure has become a collection of engravings and lithographs of the "master" as well as other artists, who together with my father have made us feel that magic that produces the conjunction of colors, shapes and strokes of a work of art.
After ten years of collecting we decided to take a step forward and create our own gallery, our "Prima Galeria".
