Alexandra Navas is a Colombian textile artist based in Barcelona. Her childhood moved between Cartagena de Indias, Mexico City and Madrid. Barcelona is where she has grown both personally and artistically. She weaves on a high-warp loom (telar de alto lizo) and works with tufting, using materials such as jute, hemp, wool, cotton and silk. Every piece carries gold, her symbol of connection with the pre-Columbian cultures of her homeland.
Her work is a woven story. Through it she connects with her roots, reinterprets her history and entwines the worlds that live in her, Latin America and Europe. Five threads run through everything she makes: nature and its preservation, the feminine universe, the ancestral heritage of the original peoples, the human mark on the territory, and exile. Weaving, she says, is a way of searching in our origins, in the feminine and the ancestral, for a vision of the future that respects the Earth and life, and brings us closer to our sacred and divine nature. That search takes shape in tapestry series such as Tropical Elegance (Elegancia Tropical) and in her Totems, small woven sculptures that each hold a crystal inside.
