In my work as a textile artist, I seek to weave together the threads of my ancestral heritage with the complexities of the contemporary world. My practice is a dialogue between the past and the present, where traditional techniques meet modern perspectives to create a tapestry that honors the rich history of Colombian textiles while engaging with today’s cultural and social narratives.
Textiles have always been more than just material for me; they are a medium through which I communicate with my ancestors. Each piece I create is imbued with the symbols, stories, and craftsmanship passed down through generations. By reimagining these traditional patterns and techniques, I bridge the gap between historical and modern contexts, infusing my work with both depth and relevance.
Through my art, I explore how ancient practices can address contemporary issues and resignification of women traditional labors. My textiles are a reflection of the body as a territory and part of nature, allowing me to engage in a dialogue about identity, culture, and society.
For me, textile art is an act of connection—both with my ancestors and with the present moment. It is a way to honor the legacy of those who came before me while navigating the ongoing conversation of cultural and social change. My art is a continuous thread that links the wisdom of the past with the possibilities of the future, offering a space for reflection, dialogue, and discovery.
