Munich-born and Rome-based for over 25 years, Tania Welz transitioned from a successful television production career with networks like VIVA TV, Sky Universal, and National Geographic to fully embrace her passion for art in 2013.
Her work explores the dynamic interplay of fabrics and materials, transformed through fire, water, and chemical processes.
Welz’s distinctive technique merges modest materials with luxurious textiles, highlighting the potential for rebirth and renewal within decay. This interplay underscores the constant transformation within her work, where materials shift states, representing the fluidity of existence.
Her art has been exhibited globally, including shows in China, Germany, the UAE, and the United States. In 2023, she held the solo exhibition ‘Oltre Confine’ at the prestigious Museum Castromediano in Lecce, Italy.
Among her accolades are the 4th International Emerging Artist Award in Dubai and Huacui Museum Special Prize, Arte Laguna Prize edition 19, 2024, winning a Huacui Museum Artist Residency in Shanghai, China.
Welz’s work is included in both private and public collections, with notable pieces such as a commissioned work for the Dutch Railway Network Prorail and a long-term loan at the Castromediano Museum in Lecce, Italy.
Tania Welz continues to work throughout her studio in central Rome.
