Guillermo Núñez, Chilean artist, was born in Santiago on January 27, 1930. In 1949 he entered the School of Theater at the University of Chile and then the School of Fine Arts of the same house of studies.
In the 1950s, Núñez traveled through Europe, where he met great artists, poets, and film directors. After a stay in New York between 1964 and 1965, he returned to Chile, where he developed an exhibition of drawings created in the United States, which have been considered the beginning of his foray into Pop aesthetics.
A constant in Núñez's painting it has been the man, the human being with his problems and social problems, especially violence. He has developed painting, engraving, serigraphy, photo-screen printing, graphics, installations and object art, with themes that refer to historical events, wars, disputes and personal experiences, which show and denounce violence and human destruction.
Guillermo Núñez is recognized worldwide for his set designs and costume designs in his plays.
His works are present in museums and collections in different countries of the world.
