Roxana Werner
My first approach to the visual arts was as a textile designer.
I worked in Batik tapestry, which is part of Javanese art.
In the Batik technique, color is worked through successive dyeing, which makes it impossible to enrich its tones through nuances.
In the search to expand the use of color and drawing, I entered the Catholic University to study visual arts. I enriched my learning in the workshops of different painting teachers.
In the first years, the training was academic, very rigorous, which contributed to acquiring a fundamental base, which has allowed me to venture into different modes of expression, techniques, styles, etc.
The study of the History and Theory of Art at the University of Chile has allowed me to know and understand the movements that were developing over the course of different periods, all of which has been a contribution to my work.
In painting, it is essential to experience "in situ" the space in which inspiration arises.
Tackling a project without the emotional and intellectual experience of the place or object that captivates me would be impossible.
The moment of connection is the first moment to start working on a project.
