ROCIO ALCAMAN - Visual Artist

  

Chilean Swiss artist based in France near Geneva Switzerland, currently a friend of the Atelier GE grave, Geneva.

 

The concept of evolution, impermanence and awaked dreaming are what articulate her pieces.

She moves among a variety of techniques: drawing, printing, painting, installations and digital art.

 

The artist has been active in a number of fields, including illustration, theater scenography, restoration, conservation and teaching. Her work is influenced both by her experiences and the cultural diversity she has encountered.
