ARTIST JAIME FERRER
Jaime Ferrer was born in Santiago, Chile. He studied at the University of Chile’s School of Fine Arts under Augusto Barcia, Adolfo Couve, Luis Lobos and Rodolfo Opazo and also learned from contemporaries Matías Pinto D’Aguiar, Jorge Tacla, and others. Upon graduation, he exhibited his work locally while longing to explore beyond his native land. Since 1982 he has lived in the United States and exhibited in Canada, Chile, Colombia, Italy, Japan and Monaco as well. In 1987 he spent a sabbatical in Italy, traveling around the country and experiencing for the first time Italians’ ties to their pictorial culture. In 2007 he made Arte Dos Gráfico in Bogota an extension of his studio and home of many new projects. His works are on display at The Housatonic Museum of Art in Bridgeport and The Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, Connecticut, and in public collections, such as “La Collection de S.A.S le Prince de Monaco.” The State of Connecticut commissioned him to paint a mural at the Windham Regional Vocational-Technical School in Willimantic. At present, he lives in Miami, where he creates, teaches and serves as an art consultant for the private sector. He is involved in the development of various projects, including sculpture/music media events that range from sculpture to painting and mixed media.
