Guadalupe has been developing her work for over two decades. Her practice of experimental painting is characterized by the articulation of natural patrimony with found objects that reflect the memory of their transformation processes.
Her poetics seek out the formal construction of meaning, portraying nature and humankind as a single living organism, where everything is interrelated: patterns, rhythms, and ways of manifesting themselves over time. Guadalupe’s paintings are primeval and immersive landscapes that reveal geography, reflecting the territory’s genealogical and geological memory. In her work, matter does not disappear; rather, it is transformed—a conviction that drives her forward. Utilizing oil paint, sketches, and the installation of fragments of wood, stones, branches, or debris rescued throughout the territory, she unlocks the value of ancestral life, evoking a profound reality beyond physical corporeality.

Color and its emotions are a key stimulus for her learning, leading her to conduct children’s workshops throughout the country, including at the Martín Gusinde Anthropological Museum in Puerto Williams and in Koñimo, a Huilliche community on the island of Chiloé.
