Born in Munich, Germany,Tania Welz has lived and worked in Rome for over 25 years.
She started her career as a TV Producer for VIVA TV
in Germany and then became a Promo
Production Producer for the Italian offices of Orbit
Communications Network, Sky, Universal and National
Geographic Channel. Parallel she pursuid her artistic
research, experimenting with a multitude of different materials, techniques and textiles.
In 2013 she decided to dedicate her time entirely to her artistic career.
In her artist practice, Tania Welz combines fabrics with various materials, prompting them to clash, interact, and transform through the erosive forces of fire, air, water, physical manipulation, and chemicals up to creating large scale works imbued with powerful chromatic and material impacts.
Employing techniques such as cutting, assembling, scorching, padding, and blending modest materials with opulent textiles or precious inserts, the artist presents a perspective of dynamic and visually suggestive transformations.
Her work meditates on the fleeting instant where different material worlds intertwine in a moment of transformation to capture and preserve this transient flash of beauty before it disappears back into the flow of time and change.
Tania Welz has exhibited internationally, including shows in China, Poland, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Serbia, Slovakia, Greece, the UK and the United States and her work has received honors such as the 4th International Emerging Artist Award in Dubai in 2016.
Notable exhibitions include the 8th International Fiber Art Biennial in Nantong, China (2014), 6th Textile Art of Today (2022) at the prestigious Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum in Bratislava, Slovak Republic and the solo exhibition ‘Oltre Confine’ in 2023 at the Museum Castromediano in Lecce, Italy.
Her work resides in many private and public collections, including a commission for the Dutch Railway Network.
She has also created set designs for Italian television, co-produced and presented an art television segment broadcast for the Chinese television.
Tania Welz currently lives and maintains a studio practice in the center of Rome.
