At the intersection of art and ecological awareness, Juan Pablo Schiebelbein creates work that seeks to move and challenge the viewer. His practice is rooted in the attentive observation of nature and its subtlest forms, exploring the relationship between living beings, their habitats, and the urgent need to preserve them. Through drawing, ceramics, sculpture, painting, and collage, his visual language conveys a singular sensitivity toward the minimal, the vulnerable, and the essential.
Initially trained in local workshops in Pigüé, Schiebelbein found in ceramics a profound connection with matter and manual processes. He honed his skills at the Municipal School of Visual Arts in Bahía Blanca and earned a degree as a Technician in Artistic Ceramics from the Bulnes School of Ceramics in Buenos Aires. His trajectory also includes formative experiences alongside artists such as Carlos Gaspar Moreira and participation in interdisciplinary projects like Arte en Palabras, where he expanded his practice into narrative and conceptual territories.
Schiebelbein’s work expresses a critical view of the present without abandoning beauty or the desire for transformation. In his pieces, small forms of life take center stage as symbols of resilience, set in environments that combine fragility, rhythm, and contemplation. In the face of an increasingly artificialized world, his production proposes an ethics of care and interdependence, where each artistic gesture is also a stance.
He has taken part in group exhibitions at venues such as the Palais de Glace, Centro Cultural Borges, Espacio Bencich, and Cultura Viva. Internationally, his work has been shown in Paris (Art Shopping, Carrousel du Louvre) and Berlin (Naturaleza en Divinos). His artistic practice stands as a poetic call to rethink our relationship with life and the commons.
