Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza is a Peruvian artist born in 1981. She is known for her mixed-media textiles in which she utilises handcraft techniques such as embroidery, knitting, and patchwork. More recently the artist has started incorporating photography to her works. Barboza embarks on this labor-intensive practice to explore the provenance of natural fibres and pigments in connection with the different landscapes where these are found and their peoples, guardians of ancestral knowledges. She recreates landscapes and other natural elements and disrupts the physical limits of the frame placing the works in-between tapestry and sculpture.

Barboza’s work has been shown extensively in Perú, Bolivia, and Argentina, and Miami, Madrid, London, and Taipei. It is part of large art collections such as that of the Fundación Maria Cristina Masaveu Peterson in Madrid, the Moritz Hochschild Collection in New York, and the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lima.
