Yelitza Barrios is a contemporary fiber artist and the visionary behind Filamentos Art, a creative studio based in Miami, Florida. Her work is characterized by a deep integration of traditional weaving and macrame techniques with a modern, expressive aesthetic. Yelitza’s artistic journey is rooted in her belief that art serves as a powerful tool for therapy and personal resilience.

Beyond her tactile creations, Yelitza Barrios has expanded her brand into the realms of literature and digital media. She is the author of the book "El Arte de Transitar Cambios," which explores the transformative power of creativity during life’s transitions, and the host of a podcast focused on emotional storytelling and art. Her work invites viewers and collectors to slow down, encouraging a mindful appreciation for the intricate knots and textures that define her fiber art. By combining her Latina heritage with a commitment to sustainability, Yelitza Barrios has established Filamentos Art as a space where art, healing, and community intersect, making a significant impact on the contemporary fiber art scene in South Florida and beyond.
