Ink & Charcoal on OSB Board
32" × 48" (81 × 122 cm)
Framed
A horse takes shape through Gonzalo Pizarro’s process of working directly with the natural grain of OSB, using ink and charcoal to build the image from within the surface. Rather than working against the material, he allows its structure to guide where the figure emerges and where it recedes.
The composition is built in stages, with areas of density creating depth while more defined marks bring the subject forward. In Criollo, this approach gives the horse a strong, grounded presence, with the image forming through a balance of control and material response
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 achieved 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."
