Artist Statement

I was born in Chile, South America. While studying design in the 1970s, I became interested in the rock art found in the many areas of my country. I visited the solitary and awe-inspiring valleys, mountains, deserts and rock formations of Chile, which are repositories of this art. I was encouraged to do further traveling research by Hans Niemeyer, a renowned archeologist who soon became my mentor. I traveled to Spain to study the pre-historic caves of Altamira in the Basque country, the home of my paternal ancestors. My work springs from this research and exploration, and my connection to an ancient past.

For me, the fusion of cultures and experiences has been very prominent in my work. This extraordinary process began in April 2000, when I arrived in the U.S. for the first time. In those almost 23 years, what originated from my original methods has developed into gestural paintings using free spontaneous brush strokes, to evoke a primal and expressionist mode of communication.

My inspirations have been quite diverse and numerous — the rock art of Chile; the music of Czech and Chilean composers; my ancestral places in Catalonia and The Basque Country. My environmental inspiration is reflected in my 2019 series Gaiamama.

The COVID-19 pandemic has inspired my most recent series. With music as my muse, and meditation as my guide, I am enveloped with these transcendental and active elements of inspiration. While painting Meditations series, I listened to The Buddha’s Tears, Armenian music performed with its ancient traditional instrument, the duduk. It imparts a powerful connection, and with it, the sounds of a collective lament inherent of the current pandemic situation.

Gershwin’ Rhapsody in Blue, and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons’ Spring has energized and encouraged my colorful brush strokes that are both musical and gestural, as well.

With my upcoming exhibition at Muse Gallery Philadelphia, in April 2023, I will celebrate my 40 years of exhibitions (1983- 2023) showing my series Atacama inspired by archeological sites especially rich in rock art, in the Atacama Desert, Northern area of Chile.

Artist Biography

Jacqueline Unanue is a Chilean-American artist of Spanish ancestors living and working in art in Philadelphia since 2000.

She studied graphic design at the Universidad de Chile, Valparaíso, and received formal training in drawing, painting, art history at Fines Art School of Viña del Mar, Chile. While a student, she became interested in the rock art found in Chile, meeting renowned archaeologist, Hans Niemeyer, who soon became her mentor. Together with her husband Ricardo Guajardo Romero, also an artist and designer, Unanue traveled extensively through Chile’s Atacama Desert doing on-site rock art research in the solitary valleys, mountains and cliff areas where original ancient rock paintings and carvings exist. In Spain, she studied the pre-historic paintings of the Altamira caves in the Basque Country, the home of her paternal ancestors.

In 1989, Unanue received the invitation to the prestigious Primeras Jornadas del Color, an international art encounter and lecture series in Catalonia, Spain, and the Critic’s Award in Visual Arts from the Valparaíso Art Critics Association in Chile. She was awarded grants sponsored by the Directorate of Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile (DIRAC) for her solo exhibits at Guayasamín Foundation in Ecuador (1997), and at the Inter- American Development Bank in Washington DC (2000). In 2015, she received the Latin American Women in Art and Cultural Tribute recognition in New York. Recently in 2022, she was selected by The Woodmere Annual 80th Juried Exhibition in Philadelphia.

Since 1983, Jacqueline Unanue’s work has been numerously shown in both solo and group exhibitions around the world, specifically Chile, Spain, Finland, Ecuador, Argentina, and the United States in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, Annapolis and New York.

Her work resides in many private and public collections in the Americas and Europe. Among them: University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia PA; The PNC Bank Tower Collection, Pittsburgh PA; Gabriela Mistral Campus, Queens, NY; Gabriela Mistral Foundation, New York Consulate General of Chile, New York; Diners Club Collection, Quito, Ecuador; and Corporación Cultural, Viña del Mar, Chile.

She resides in Philadelphia with her husband, and is represented by Muse Gallery Philadelphia
