ON EXHIBIT JULY 29 - AUGUST 8, 2026 | SANTIAGO
From a young age, Mauricio Russo Camhi (1957, Chile) was passionate about building and assembling things, especially those that required great detail and fine motor skills. His curiosity about anything that moved captivated him. This sparked his passion for mobiles. When he attended an exhibition by Alexander Calder at the Museo de Bellas Artes, he was 13 years old and became absolutely fascinated by the artist’s mobiles, stabiles, and sculptures. From that very day, he began creating sculptures inspired by Calder’s works. At first, he built them simply for the pleasure of looking at them. Later, he started making them as gifts for the most significant people in his life, and now he wishes to offer them to those who enjoy observing these works that hang and balance in forms that delight the senses.
By profession, he is an Industrial Civil Engineer and holds a Master’s degree in Operations Research from the Universidad de Chile.
