Aniela Troglia is an artist from Rosario (Santa Fe), Argentina. She obtained a degree in Fine Arts from the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the U.N.R., and was also trained in Photography, Audiovisual Production, 2D Animation and Art Direction. She has also participated in the PALAXXI Program for artists, organized by the Lava Gallery (Rafaela, 2021), has taken part in several group exhibitions and has also organized solo exhibitions of her work.
As an artist, she wishes to problematize the notions surrounding money, mercantile value, property, work and consumption, investigating different procedures that tend towards the concordance between discourse and aesthetic result. She is interested in paper money, digital resources, textile possibilities, the materiality of paper, installation, graphic and photographic techniques, as well as collaborative work and disciplinary limits, with which he has fun playing with the ambiguity of languages and disciplines.
In her own words: “I prefer to produce starting from what is already there and that has certain precarious or discarded characteristics, and then -by means of certain procedures, and in the sum of the same elements-, to obtain a result of greater preponderance. Likewise, I consider the use of already discarded resources as the appropriate place for the resignification and decontextualization of such components. There is something in turn in the obsessive repetition of the same element and its ornamental arrangement, which attracts me without being able to avoid it”.
