His work is part of the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art and Ministry of Culture of Chile, AMA Foundation, and Museo Reina Sofía in Spain, among others. He holds a master's degree in Visual Arts from the University of Chile. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Art at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), as a fellow of the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) scholarship.
