For Humberto Pinochet, traveling is a source of constant inspiration. His paintings carrying a great thematic diversity, are open windows on a world that the artist invites us to discover. The urban scenes, the landscapes and the marines are amongst his privileged themes.

His artistic impression is marked by intense colors, of subjects fully exotic and mostly of light. His pictorial universe is in perpetual mutation. His paintings are found in many Art Galleries and corporate and private collections across Canada, United States and France mostly.
