About
Through Vidaloha Studio, Autran creates work that merges art, culture, and materiality into pieces designed to be lived with. Born in Chile and deeply influenced by her life in Hawai‘i, her work reflects an ongoing dialogue between both cultures.
Her work spans digitally designed woven textiles and painting. Each piece begins as a hand-drawn sketch, is translated into a digital composition, and then woven on advanced textile looms.
Her large-scale textile works have been featured in international publications for their contemporary approach to textile art and their ability to bring a distinctive material presence into interior spaces.
Rather than creating traditional prints, Autran chose textiles as a way to introduce material into the artwork itself, creating pieces whose presence shifts throughout the day as light moves across the woven surface.
Sustainability
The same intention that shapes the artwork also guides how it is made, with a production process centered on responsible materials and thoughtful manufacturing.
Sustainability is a core part of her practice. Her woven pieces are crafted at a specialized textile mill using organic and recycled cotton fibers, with solar-powered production and a zero-waste approach where all yarn, plastic, and paper waste is recycled.
vi·da: Property or essential quality of animals and plants, for which they evolve, adapt to the medium, develop and reproduce.
a·lo·ha: "the presence of breath" or "the breath of life." It comes from "Alo," meaning presence, front and face, and "ha," meaning breath. Aloha is a way of living and treating each other with love and respect. Aloha was a way of reaching self-perfection and realization for our own body and soul. Its deep meaning starts by teaching ourselves to love our own beings first and afterwards to spread the love to others.
