Jordana del Feld is a Bay Area artist and Argentine tango dancer.  Her painting and her dancing strive for the same goal: capturing the unseen moments of connection.
Jordana’s technique is entirely freehand and originates from her lifelong fascination with Asian art. She invented her own process specifically for painting tango. She works with both hands at once, holding a brush of India ink in one hand and a brush of water in the other. The brushwork is quickly executed. In it, the act of painting becomes a dance that records energetic signatures and the inner life of its subjects.
Many people mistake the paintings for photographs, but they show much more than a photograph can. They embody the art of the unseen.
Born in San Francisco, Jordana comes from a family of artists and is a classically trained draftsman with an MFA from New York University. She studied Renaissance art in Italy and classical Beaux-Arts figure drawing and watercolor in the New York atelier of Christopher Young. She continued her studies at Parsons, the New School for Design, and at the San Francisco Art Institute. She also did graduate work in classical Asian religious art at Columbia University. She practices tango in San Francisco and Buenos Aires.
