Parallel to her studies in psychology, shetrained with artists from whom she learned drawingand painting. She learns according to her needs,gleaning, learning and striving to acquire thetechniques and skills she needs to express herself.Thread techniques have always been part of herdaily life, and her grandmother, a seamstress,passed on her skills to her. Training in engraving andceramics will complete her apprenticeship inthread techniques. Adeline Contreras seessculpture as a form of research, a way of placingmaterial in a space that confronts the viewer’s body.Her sculptures explore collective memory.She prefers materials that already have a history,that are part of a continuity and that give a newperspective, blending individual history withcollective history, with our common archaic sense:the womb, the original habitat, the envelope.Adeline Contreras extends this work with thecreation of artist’s books, telling stories that speak ofsilence and the reminiscence of origins.She regularly exhibits in museums such as theTexture Museum in Belgium, the BibractArchaeological Museum, contemporary art centerssuch as LAC&S-Lavitrine and the Villa DatrisFoundation in France, and the Textile Art Biennialin Mexico.AMELIA NINBerlin, GermanyINSTAGRAM: @amelia.nin.artistWEBSITE: amelianin.comAmelia Nin is an Uruguayan textile artist wholives and works in Berlin since 2007. She hasbeen among fabrics, wool and threads since herchildhood, with her grandparents she learned toweave and embroider, from them she inheritedher passion for textiles. She studied Textile Designat the Design School University of Uruguay andworked for the industry designing fabrics for morethan 10 years. She lived and worked in Mexico Cityfor 5 years, an experience that marked her and ledher to rethink her goals as a textile designer. Thisexperience strengthened her interest in artisanwork and the different ancestral textile techniques;research and experimentation thus regainedprominence in her work. Her works address therelationship between the micro and macro cosmos,themes such as the origin of things, our vulnerableexistence in the universe, our connection with natureand our relationship with the planet. Her latest worksare inspired by lichens, as ancestral as the history ofthe earth and whose essence contains a metaphor:they are the result of a symbiosis, of an intimateunion between two organisms of different species,united for mutual benefit in their vital development.This makes such a delicate and sensitive organismto be at the same time one of the strongest andmost resistant in the natural kingdom. Interestingly,it is this intimate association, this union, which isthe cause of its greatest strength and which hasallowed it to survive to the present day, thus makingit a witness to humanity.

Her works are part of diverse privatecollections in Germany, Mexico and Uruguay.ANNA CARMONAGirona, CataloniaINSTAGRAM: @lanna__cLanna C is an artist born in Girona, Spain with agreat international projection.
