Amanda Francisca is a visual artist born in Chile, who lives and works in her hometown, Santiago. 

​

Amanda Francisca begins her studies on Visual Arts and Sculpture in 2007 at Emerson College, at the foot of the Ashdown Forest, England.

​

In 2013 she joins the Masters in Contemporary Art & Social Sculpture at Oxford Brookes University, where three of her lifelong interest intersect: art, ecology and the social.

​

In 2016 she returns to Chile. She then meets Denise Gil, an artist and anthroposophist, who introduces her to formative forces in sculpture and nature through observation and clay modeling of plants, seeds and bones. Together they study Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants. 

​

During 2025 Amanda Francisca was focused on the study of the clavicle as a key bone for the arm's and hand's varied movements, prompted by a series of lectures given by the founder of Anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner.

 

This research led to the development of a course which she taught in the winter of 2025 at EURYTHMEUM, a school of Eurythmy in Stuttgart. She is interested in the interdisciplinary dialogue between dancers & sculptors and is currently developing a follow up course on the scapula.

​

Since 2010 she has exhibited in Chile and the UK.

Amanda Francisca develops quiet and simple installations that invite audiences to step lightly into contemplative exhibition spaces. She works with natural materials —such as stone, decaying wood, plant stems, wild grasses, wax, terracota bricks and adobe— to explore their poetic potential through formal geometries and primordial gestures. Her works articulate silent questions which lie at the intersection of art, ecology and the social.
