Gonzalo Pizarro

 

Gonzalo Pizarro is a visual artist with a background in architecture. His work is rooted in the use of unique materials, especially those that are raw, industrial, or overlooked. The artist became widely recognized after he posted a video of his work on OSB board that garnered international attention with over 14 million views. 

 

Art critics and enthusiast became astonished at the new approach using the compressed wooden board. Pizarro was drawn to creating works on OSB due to the unpredictability and chaos found within the wood. 

 

"That’s where Fragments of Identity begin, with a material that reflects how we’re often shaped by what we can’t fully control. Working with OSB is a negotiation: some fragments support the process, others resist. And that mirrors life, how we build meaning from limitations, from contradictions."
