Neko (猫 — cat) + Korosenai (殺せない — impossible to kill): the essence that survives
One-of-one paintings and embroidery by Maria Paz. A poetic archive of tenderness, rage, memory, and survival that can now find a new home in Chile or abroad.
Art as memory. Art as rebellion. Art as proof that tenderness survives.
Every piece in this archive is a fragment of lived truth, transformed into image.
A first collector's entry point: a raw truth, a transforming flame, and a year of time rescued stitch by stitch.
A throat, a truth, and the body trying to tear silence away with its own hands.
A candle that does not end in gray smoke, but in a galaxy of color.
An entire year stitched in stolen lunch breaks, one breath at a time.
This archive is also a place where original works can find their next home. The flow stays personal, but now it is much clearer.
Every available work in this section is the original physical piece, not a print or reproduction.
Each card and modal shows whether the piece is available plus a temporary price placeholder while the first sales structure is being finalized.
Open the piece, use the reserve button, and I will reply personally with the next steps and confirmation.

She is a self-taught Chilean emerging artist whose work moves between tenderness, rage, symbolism, and emotional survival. Each original piece is part of a living archive: intimate, strange, and deeply human.

Born from a knot in the throat and an avoided truth. The hand reaching to tear out what the ego forced it to swallow.
In the world of logic, a consumed candle leaves behind gray smoke and the void of absence. This cat-candle is not burning out — it is surrendering.
The imposing Andes mountain range stops being cold rock and transforms into a living refuge of fur, warmth, and community.
Visual beauty does not always mean inner peace. The cat's averted gaze reveals someone trapped in an endless internal dialogue, surrounded by wonder yet disconnected.
A love that could not be fulfilled physically, but became an act of spiritual faith. A desperate embrace — not with earthly desire, but with the pure longing for someone's wellbeing.
Not a vision of pain, but a conception of the human essence returning to its origin: the One Being. Divinity manifests in the perfect fusion of feminine and masculine.
My art has no clock and no one can rush my evolution. What began as security ended as a declaration of independence.
The first flight of my Hoshí Neko. A deep green textured stain as an infinite cosmos, and a cat as a silhouette of light cutting through the night.
Born from an unexpected impulse: a chocolate wrapper became a dragon's tail. The coolest treasures are sometimes found where you least expect them.
40 minutes stolen from lunch every day, stitch by stitch, to keep my essence alive. This hoop is the record of a year of my life.
Not everything stays available forever. This small archive also shows what has already been chosen, gifted, or collected.
The moment we project our need for stability onto someone else. The gold was never their essence — it was the value I gave them.

A secondary digital branch of the same universe: still intimate, but no longer the main sales focus of the site.
The body is not just flesh: it is the refuge of a light that was always there, waiting to be remembered.
A gentle symbol that repeats more than it should. 08 is not just a number: it is a cycle that insists, that returns, that marks.
Not everything that exists needs to fit in. The undefined is also a form of existing.
A gentle essence inhabits what appears to be a simple container. It is not trapped — it is protected.
I don't seek to undress others — my art is the act of undressing myself before the world. I expose myself in every stroke to remember — and to remind myself — that beneath scars and masks, our essence has always been whole and intact.
My path is that of a self-taught artist who found in color her own raft. I come from a story marked by passing through institutions — former SENAME child — a reality that forced me to search for the meaning of life where there seemed to be nothing. Art was not a hobby: it was the tool for unearthing my own light.
NE-KORO: The essence that survives. This project is born from vulnerability and love. Its name honors my companion, my feline son, who has taught me about loyalty and being present. It unites Neko (猫 — cat) and Korosenai (殺せない — impossible to kill): a reference to that immortal essence we all carry inside, which nothing in this world can destroy.
Through digital art, oil, and acrylic, I explore the tension between the fear that silences us and the force of the heart that pushes us to scream our truth. My work is an invitation to observe the Golden Heart — the one that neither oxidizes nor alters — as we walk together the path back to what we always were.
This space is for sharing the findings of my own evolution. I hope that, by seeing myself reflected in these works, you also find a part of that universal truth that connects us all.
— Maria Paz
