Tania Viveros

I was born on December 24, 1988, in Reynosa Tamaulipas Mexico, and raised in The Rio Grande Valley. I received my bachelor’s degree in Studio Art and Design from The University of Texas-Pan American and my master’s degree in Studio Art from The University of the Rio Grande Valley. As an artist, my work has been exposed in various art fairs, which have enabled me to inform and expose to the community of The Rio Grande Valley the richness of art in jewelry metal smith, found objects, and sculptures using palm tree leaves. My art pieces have been shown at, The Upper Valley Art League in Mission Texas, Hands in Art Studio in Mission Texas, The Charles and Dorothy Clark Art Gallery in Edinburg Texas, Movement Gallery in San Antonio Texas; an installation titled Archival Evolution in The UTPA Library, just to name a few.

My current work is wrapped around the idea of taking debris and recreating art in an abstract form. I take palm tree leaves, seeds, branches, tree trunks, corn leaves, and many organic materials that focus on texture and form. By connecting each object to other forms, I depict the Passionate Flower. These flowers are created and recreated in various forms of art each piece contrasts some are more obvious than others, but in the end, everything created correlates to the context of passion.
