Clara Waserstein – International textile artist

About

Clara Waserstein was born in San José, Costa Rica, where she currently resides. After pursuing studies in art and design in Costa Rica, Spain, Israel, the United States, and Puerto Rico, she discovered her passion for textile art, which became her medium of expression and healing during challenging personal times.

Her works, internationally recognized, are designed to convey harmony and positive energy, reflecting her deep connection with fibers and textures. Clara transforms emotions into unique pieces that celebrate both life and art.

Luminous Art.

The light that binds.

Light and fabric converge in delicate tension. Clara weaves luminous atmospheres where each glow outlines a feeling. Circular forms and translucent textiles create suspended compositions that breathe, radiate, and embrace the space. These pieces are not just seen—they are inhabited.

Embroidery.

A thread for every silence.

Embroidery, in Clara’s hands, becomes an act of remembrance. Each stitch is deliberate, each pattern a quiet testimony. Her embroidered works are intimate territories, where the thread draws what words cannot say—memories, identities, inner landscapes.

Woven Works (Tapestries).

Maps of the soul.

With wool and rhythm, Clara crafts tactile landscapes where colors and textures flow like rivers of memory. These weavings are not merely decorative—they are cartographies of emotion, woven patiently, evoking nature and its silent wisdom.

Material Dialogues.

A dialogue of materials.

Clara intertwines natural fibers with wood and metal to create works that explore the balance between softness and strength. Each piece speaks of roots, resilience, and connection—where textile meets structure, and organic matter converses with industrial presence in harmonious tension.

Intervened Surfboards.

Waves suspended in time.

These boards do not touch the sea—they evoke it. Clara transforms this maritime symbol into a three-dimensional canvas, where textile meets wood and saline memory. Hung on the wall like fragments of a still ocean, they pulse with the rhythm of the tides. Art to contemplate and feel, as if the sea paused—just for a moment.
