Industrial designer from the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana and a specialist in Creative Intervention from the Colegiatura Colombiana. She has more than thirty years of experience in design and textiles, fifteen of which she dedicated to leading her company and creating the OnA brand. During the 15 years of the brand she was recognized and awarded several times for the creative proposal and staging.
In materials, processes and techniques, Correa explores the artistic potential of textile pieces. Each step in the creation of a textile piece becomes an opportunity to tell and weave stories. Her obsession with finishes brought her closer to the refinement of techniques and elevated her ability to observe and create.
In 2016 Juliana Correa focuses on the reflection around her craft and textiles. That year she specializes in Creative Intervention at the Colegiatura Colombiana and obtains the best academic average in each of the three cycles, which gives her the degree the maximum mention for cartographic work.
In 2018, after years of artistic experimentation with pieces of clothing, she begins a process of decontextualization. Ideas, processes, materials and techniques progressively modified, opening a new route in her creative path. This is how she renounces the body as a format and expands her work to create works of art from the recovery and transformation of stored scraps. Her challenge is to turn waste into pieces that now inhabit spaces in a more intimate way.
The transversal axis in Juliana Correa's creation is sustainability and the environment by transforming substrates through the work of art, understanding the capacity of contemporary art to re-signify waste materials.
