César Goldsmith, Architect and Watercolourist, was born in Santiago de Chile, where he developed his professional and artistic training. His studies of Architecture at the University of Chile always bring him closer in one way or another to art, with professors such as Edwin Haramoto, Jorge Patiño and Jaime Bendersky who marked his way of seeing each work from different orbits of design, particularly methodology, composition and conceptual and practical management, since childhood he showed a clear vocation for artistic expressions, particularly graphics. The elaboration of countless sketches and urban scenes, derived in the rediscovery of freehand drawing and painting. For years he followed the path of acrylic painting and finally discovered his greatest passion, painting in the most difficult technique in his own words, watercolour. He has always been inclined towards shapes, light, shadow, atmosphere, depth, discovering and investigating in parallel in a self-taught and experimental way. He shares his time between architecture and watercolour, taking several courses both at the University of Chile and the Catholic University of Chile, as well as with great artists and watercolourists of national and international renown.
