Anoche, junto a mi esposa y a destacadas figuras del mundo artístico, cultural, del sector público y privado, celebramos la inauguración de la colección “Arte en las Embajadas” en Barnes House. Nos emociona compartir estos paisajes de todo Estados Unidos, que traen un pedacito de mi país a nuestra casa aquí en Chile. Gracias de corazón a @artinembassies, programa del Departamento de Estado, por hacer posible este puente de intercambio cultural y por acercarnos aún más a través del lenguaje universal del arte. Y un agradecimiento muy especial al barítono #JavierArrey por sus maravillosas presentaciones, que hicieron de la velada una noche inolvidable.

Dive into the vibrant world of artist @anncravenstudio - whose five stunning paintings enliven the Embassy's collection.

Through her unique process of 'revisitation' Ann infuses tenderness into every brushstroke, capturing the charm and personality of birds posed like yearbook portraits.
