Casapueblo is a building located on the abrupt Uruguayan coast, near Punta del Este, constructed by artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. A personal memory of mine, walking around the now museum and glancing at the spectacular sunset views from this very same terrace.

Casapueblo has been partly transformed into a museum and art gallery where there are very interesting art pieces on display. These amphorae are creations of artist Carlos Páez Vilaró.
Carlos Páez Vilaró (1923 – 2014, Uruguayan) was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and became a prolific abstract artist, painter, potter, sculptor, muralist, writer, composer and constructor. Vilaró’s work was influenced by Afro-Uruguayan culture. A member of the ‘Grupo de los 8’ he joined other artists in exploring new techniques in painting. In 1956, Vilaró was invited to exhibit his work in the Modern Art Museum of Paris. Along with Willem De Kooning he gave his first international exhibition in Buenos Aires in 1960. Meanwhile, he was being commissioned for murals which can be seen in various cities around the world.
