Nata a Monaco di Baviera, in Germania, Tania Welz vive e lavora a Roma da oltre 20 anni.
Con ustioni, tagli e imbottiture di materiali umili che si contrappongono con inserti preziosi, Welz mette in moto una metamorfosi, una progressione costante di decadenza e rinnovamento, all'interno di un ciclo infinito di apparire e scomparire.
Il suo lavoro è una serie di istantanee in cui una vasta gamma di mondi materici si intrecciano, si danneggiano e si riparano —solo per un momento per poi separasi nuovamente — nel tentativo di mostrare questo ineffabile istante di vita e di congelare un momento di bellezza prima che inevitabilmente scompaia.
Il suo lavoro ha ricevuto diversi premi ed è stato esposto in mostre collettive e personali internazionali in Cina, Dubai, Varsavia, Los Angeles, Belgrado, Londra, Monaco e Roma.
