Teresa Greve Wolf is a Latin American artist based in the Midwest whose work is deeply rooted in themes of identity, belonging, and social justice. Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, she studied fine arts at the Escuela de Bellas Artes. After marrying, she relocated to California with her husband, who pursued graduate studies. What was intended to be a temporary move became permanent when political unrest in Chile forced them to make the difficult decision to remain in the United States, ultimately settling in Indiana.
Throughout her journey, Teresa has remained committed to her artistic practice—exhibiting widely across the region and nationally, while also teaching private art lessons. Her work reflects a unique cross-cultural perspective, blending her Chilean roots with her lived experience in the U.S., and continues to give voice to those navigating the complexities of identity and belonging.

Art Statement
My artwork insistently reflects my keen interest in bold colors, strong lines, and constantly challenging the creative process. In my paintings, I innovatively render and re-interpret diverse subject matter drawing upon a wide array of aesthetic approaches, mark-making techniques, and visual sources. A large portion of my artistic production involves crafting series of works that are focused on the same subject or variations of a theme. This approach allows me to revisit the selected place, person, object or idea at the epicenter of my inspiration in a mode that addresses my relationship to the subject in terms of temporality, emotion, and sensory experience. At the same time, each piece is infused with my personal interpretation and signature style, immersing the viewer in the rich palette of colors and daring brushstrokes that makes my work instantly recognizable. In this way, my artistic practice serves as a vibrant visual record, cognizant of the fact that even as one's subjects shift and change, each artwork embodies the essence of interpretation and individual expression.
