Vastiane Tamayo Gómez is a Chilean artist based in Berlin, Germany.
Her work is mainly in the areas of illustration, printmaking and painting. The central focus of her practice is drawing and experimentation with materials, with a particular emphasis on the expressiveness of the line, the poetic quality of the balance between randomness and control, and the active use of white space as an essential part of the composition. Through paper and wall, she approaches the concepts of the individual, intimacy, nostalgia and memory.
Her work aims to construct evocative images, with open narratives that invite the viewer to interpret, reflect and connect from their own experience. The characters -figurative or abstract- inhabit spaces detained in time, creating silent atmospheres where the visible and the emotional interweave.
She graduated in Fine Arts with a major in Printmaking at the Universidad Finis Terrae. Between 2014 and 2016 she was a scholarship holder of the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD). During her stay in Berlin, at the Kunsthochschule Weissensee, she deepened and expanded her graphic technique.
When she is not in the studio, she is usually drawing, traveling, teaching artistic techniques to children and adults, doing face and body painting, having coffee with friends or walking her dog in the park.
