Teglas

I am a self-taught conceptual contemporary artist, always fascinated by material, light, and the memory that forms preserve.

Born into a legacy of art, I began as a workshop craftswoman, restoring ancient furniture and paintings. Over time, the urge to create grew stronger than the need to repair, and I chose to forge my own path as an artist.

My journey has been mostly self-directed—built through tireless study and relentless curiosity. In recent times, I discovered linocut and hand printing, and they quickly became my language.

Neurodivergence is central to my artistic identity, which I inhabit as a political and aesthetic position, rather than a biographical detail.
