Dominique Schwarzhaupt, Chilean visual artist, has dedicated her life to drawing and embroidery as languages to express emotions and ideas. Her work focuses on intervening family photographs with embroidery, exploring the nostalgia and universality of these images. Her artistic approach ranges from the thoroughness of embroidery to the creative freedom of drawing, and her work is a testament to how the manual can become a means of reflection and meditation. With a fascination for fashion and visual trends, Dominique creates works that transcend the ephemeral temporality of contemporary images, giving them new meaning and relevance in an ever-changing world.
