Born in 1982 in Santiago, Chile, Federico Infante studied at Finis Terrae University in Santiago and later in New York, where he graduated in Spring 2013 with an MFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts. His move to the United States was made possible not only by his remarkable talent, but also by the numerous awards and grants he received over the years, including the Juan Downey Grant (2004), the Conicyt Scholarship (2009), and the Uanlande Foundation Scholarship (2012).
After successful early solo and group exhibitions in Chile, 2014 marked his official debut in the United States with the solo exhibition The Space Between at the prestigious Bertrand Delacroix Gallery in the heart of Chelsea, New York. He quickly established himself in the American market, becoming a recognizable presence in the contemporary art scene.
In 2015, he entered the Italian art market with Galleria PUNTO SULL’ARTE and, in the same year, illustrated the edition of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov published by The Folio Society. In 2016, he held his first Italian solo exhibition, We Can See the Wind, enthusiastically received by critics and marking the beginning of a significant international growth path.
Over the years, he has held important solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Chile, and Italy, participating in major international art fairs. His work is included in private collections across the United States, Chile, Europe, Saudi Arabia, South America, Australia, and Singapore.
He lives and works in Richmond (Virginia – USA).
