Abel Cárcamo

Chilian, b. 1990

Born in Chile and based in Paris, Cárcamo is an international artist with a practice that merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. His artistic philosophy is grounded in heritage artisanship, where hands-on techniques and a profound appreciation for materials such as wood and bronze converge

Drawing inspiration from unexpected connections between different stylistic periods, Cárcamo’s work embodies true craftsmanship while retaining a minimalist aesthetic. Each piece possesses a distinct character, with a symbolic quality that transcends space and time, reflecting his ability to give each work a life of its own, a sense of authenticity, and emotional resonance

With an innate curiosity and a continual pursuit of knowledge and collaboration, Cárcamo is committed to showcasing the creativity of local artisans in both Chile and France. From woodworking to ceramics and metalwork, his practice celebrates extraordinary craftsmanship and a seamless blend of eras and styles
