Angela Saavedra

 ​Angela Saavedra is a Colombian/Swiss artist, currently living in Lutry, Switzerland. 

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Advertising and Visual Communication.

​

​

Main themes of her work and sources of inspiration:

​

 ​

• Rituals as a way of passing on knowledge, building structured minds and unquestionable faith.

• Self-searching.

• Multiracialism.

• Humanity and Divine.

• Exhaustion and creative entropy.

• Concept of Integration/Differentiation.

• Patterns/ Looking for meaning /Forgotten paradigms.

• Elitist vs. Popular traditions.

• Feminity. Tony Wolff's and Jungian theories.

• Identity, crafts and heritage.

• Disconnection with the natural world.

• Regulatory entities.

• Modern slavery. 

​

​

 

Female figures are the main characters of Angela’s work. Sometimes they are presented with fragile and vulnerable dripped lines surrounded by thick textures and mixed media,  suggesting written paths, heaviness and noise. Other works include structured and divine women, self-confident, wise, healers and keepers of secrets as nature itself.

​

Her work, strives to expose the irony and confusion of a globalised society amid exponential technological development, a society in which we still witness acts of fundamental human rights abuse,  disconnection from ourselves and the natural world, identity crisis and lack of trust in the institutions.
