The teacher
Yvette CAMPOS-KRATZEISEN
Passionate about textile work from a young age, Yvette Campos-Kratzeisen expresses her sensitivity through her creations in digital embroidery, a contemporary tool that she explores with passion. Her works have been presented in numerous national and international exhibitions.
Her path crosses that of the weavers of the Cordillera of the Andes, which immerses her in the teeming world of weaving, her first passion. She devotes herself entirely to it, exploring the countless possibilities of expression offered by these ancestral techniques which, using very simple technical means, create very complex works. A clash of civilizations that she loves.
