Ana Teresa Barboza lives and works in her native city of Peru.

Her characteristic use of crafts, such as patchwork, knitting or embroidery, bestow a poetic quality — depicting plants and their growth – which defy our serial and industrialized times.

Since she graduated from the Art Faculty of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Barboza´s use of manual crafts became the means to convey a meditative and powerful observation with the environment and her relationship with reality. Her laborious use of traditionally feminine handicraft has become her trademark.
