Felipe Ignacio Vial (aka) “ Aliwen ”, was born in Santiago, Chile in 1991. “ Aliwen ” means “ Tree ” in the Mapudungun (Mapuche) language.
He started as a selfthought photographer but later, he began his practice in the workshop at “ Expertimental Perrera Art Center” with Director Antonio Becerro and later with María Paz Mellado studying to developing photo film.
In his short photographic career, Felipe has exhibited in his country and through the Museum of the Americas, his artworks have been selected for promotions in the international art fair “Arco Lisboa” in May, 2022 and was invited to do a show in Dubai next October. Felipe found old materials to develop his idea about the series of “ Still lives ” as he explained in his statement at the beginning of this book.
