Celeste Chavez

Creative and dedicated arts professional with over three years of experience in the fields of production, prop design, education and animation, as well as a saleswoman in a retail environment.

I am a versatile arts professional with experience in visual arts, animation, teaching, and business. I won First Place in the 2024 ‘Artefacto’ Young Art Competition at Centro Cultural Casa lo Matta, Santiago, and have exhibited at venues such as Balmaceda Arte Joven and Universidad Finis Terrae. I also participated in the Laboratory No. 5 Residency and worked as an Animator for the short film "Notebook of Names" (2023).

In addition to my artistic career, I run a ceramic arts business, Play with Clay!, and have worked as a Sales Associate at Majen and as Producer Staff for Artweek Market. I also served as an Assistant Professor in Media Arts at Universidad Finis Terrae and contributed to the Pan American Games as Props Staff in 2023.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts from Universidad Finis Terrae (2019-2022) in Santiago, Chile. Additionally, I completed a Ceramics Course in Hand-Building Techniques at Amorfo Ceramics in 2021, further expanding my skills in the arts.
