Tania Vásquez (1980) is a Chilean artist, sculptor, jeweller, and craftswoman who uses various elements to create micro-spaces where details, colours, and small landscapes with multiple meanings converge. With a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Concepción, Chile, she has maintained a deep interest in cultural heritage, Chilean handicrafts, and their diverse expressions throughout her career. Horsehair weaving is her primary source of inspiration and creation, playing a pivotal role in her artistic practice.
The Mapuche culture also holds significant influence in her work. Tania takes pieces of great cultural value and blends them with other Chilean crafts, presenting a series of jewels that represent Chile and its cultural diversity.
Migrations, cultural diversity, and the new expressions born from the movement of millions of people around the world are recurring themes in her artistic work.
She has participated in various fairs and exhibitions outside Chile, and at Milano Jewelry Week 2024, she received the prize for Best Contemporary Jewellery, awarded by the ACJ, and the Artistar Jewels Network, awarded by the Ruup & Form Gallery, London.
She has participated in the 1st and 2nd Ibero-American Goldsmithing Encounters held in Mexico (2023) and Guatemala (2025)
