Marcela Paz Undurraga

Profile

Born 35 years ago in Santiago, Chile, she studied visual arts and sculpture at Finis Terrae University, then honed her ceramic skills at the Huara-Huara workshop. Between 2017 and 2018, she earned a master's degree in ceramics, art, and function from the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao.

Her career combines creation, teaching, and art mediation. She was a visual arts professor and ceramic sculpture program coordinator in Chile, an assistant and teaching artist at the Nube ab Foundation, and has been leading educational workshops in France for several years, notably "The Clay Laboratory" and "From Earth to the Moon."

She currently lives and works in Semur-en-Auxois, France, where she co-founded ContreForme with her partner, a space combining a studio and exhibition area, which opened in 2022. Her work, at the intersection of sculpture and ceramics, has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in France, Chile, Portugal, and Japan, as well as at the 2017, 2019, and 2022 editions of the Révélations Biennale at the Grand Palais in Paris.

His approach earned him the Côte-d’Or Young Talents Prize 2024. His creations explore the transformations of matter and the connection to natural elements, in a constant dialogue between traditional know-how and contemporary expression.
