Pascale’s abstract sculptural ‘territorio’ pieces reveal a close dialogue with the complex textures of organic landscapes, capturing their gestural energies and providing an innate platform for infusing her personal character into her creations. At the beginning of her career, after studying design, she worked as a textile designer. She commenced working with clay in 2005 in Santiago. She sees her art as a mirror to the inner world, that has been decoded with conceptual clarity, flow and rhythm. She feels it is essential to believe in one’s own work and saviour the creative path without being overly fixated with the result. “My expression is clearly spontaneous and intuitive and wants to accept chance. The unsuspected and unpublished appear many times during the process of construction of my work; I am attracted to the mystery of creation. I like to enhance surfaces with evocative textures, that speak of earth, of life.”
“If the material is full of details and texture, that is, if it plays a leading role in a sculpture, I consider it better for the result if the work is accompanied by sobriety in the enameling, where a single color often suffices. When the form and texture is simpler, the color should be used with greater diversity and freedom. I love the simplicity of the docile clay, full of so many expressive possibilities”. Her rugged, yet graceful sculptures are baked in a gas fired kiln.

“As a child I spent a lot of time outdoors, walking in the Chilean forests, climbing trees, admiring the colorful deserts and the Southern glaciers. These experiences enhanced my love of nature and influenced me artistically. The continuous evolutionary metamorphosis in nature creates a huge array of textures and palettes and provides an inviting and tranquil vista for contemplation and expression. My sculptures are connected to nature, and its roots are connected to the extraordinary energy of the earth of my country, with its extremely intense, contrasting landscapes. ”
