Voluspa Jarpa Saldías (Rancagua, 1971) is a Chilean painter and visual artist of the 1990s who has been involved in painting, installations, and sculpture.[1][2]

She studied for a degree in art at the University of Chile.[1][3] Her work is characterized by urban and reflexive subjects "both on the problem of dynamic displacement of the city, insecurity, abandonment and destruction, and the means of representation of the pictorial image with all the facilities and difficulties that the modern artist must take into account when creating the work." In addition she has incorporated digital technology as a representational tool in her work.[1][4]

In 2008, she won an award from the Circle of Critics of Art of Chile for the exhibition Plague (2008) in the visual arts category.[5] In 2011, she received a nomination for the Altazor Award in the media arts category for Project Dislocación. Library of the No - History of Chile.[6]
