The same year, he enriched his artistic perspective through the Epecuén Residency at Ambos Mundos Gallery in Argentina, an experience that undoubtedly left an imprint on his evolving artistic style.

A pivotal moment in Errázuriz's curatorial journey occurred in 2017 when he curated the exhibition [(SUBSETS)] Collective Ecuco + Vito Márquez + Germán Tagle at the Alonso Building. This marked his foray into the curation domain, demonstrating his multifaceted engagement with the art world.

From two-dimensional works to immersive three-dimensional installations, and from analog expressions to digital explorations, Errázuriz's oeuvre reflects his unwavering commitment to pushing artistic boundaries.

 

His current artistic philosophy centers around the convergence of diverse elements into a cohesive whole. Errázuriz is actively engaged in creating a comprehensive piece that synthesizes the entirety of his work, ensuring that each intervention, mural, painting, sculpture, design, and more, contributes to a unified and coherent artistic narrative. This approach reflects Errázuriz's profound exploration of themes such as abundance, the proliferation of nature, desire, and death, forming a captivating worldview that continues to captivate audiences worldwide."
