Sinisterra graduated in Psychology with a postgraduate in Psychodrama and a master’s degree in Visual Arts from the University of Chile. She workes as a professor, practice that she includes in her artistic career. Sinisterra is director of visual arts of Velatropa, an art collective that brings together arts and theater.
Her works have been always her ruse to keep alive the drive of life, the pleasure principle and the ability to play; in a country dominated by violence and fear, her art proposes a safe place. She has been interested in materials that connect with her childhood sensations, such as sweets, cotton candy, gelatin, toys and atomized colors in paint. Especially her paintings were born from the contemplation of the color palette; this abstract image is expanded to infinite dimensions. The process (her destiny) like that of a personal diary mark her attempt to fill a “broken void” and the struggle to fulfill unattainable dreams.
Sinisterra participated in numerous group and solo shows in Latin America, Europe and Asia, including Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Madrid and Korea and was honoured with several awards among them 2015 the First Prize Public Art Sculpture, Aeropuerto Internacional Arturo Merino Benitez de Santiago, Ministerio de Obras Públicas, Chile.
