My artistic practice reinterprets old sewing traditions by delving into the rich history and symbolism of local textiles. I embrace the freedom of free sewing, allowing my concepts to take shape in this process.
I am interested in contrasts and impactful ideas, drawing inspiration from all around. My particular mix of influences is woven into my work through a diverse palette of textures and textiles, mostly old pieces that already have a history. A key aspect of my art is incorporating, sustainable, vintage pieces of clothing and fabrics. I love the fact that worn textiles can become a part of my sewn stories, offering a new, profound layer and also addressing the issue of textile waste in our society.
Every piece starts with a concept and an essential idea which I follow through and then build on top of, adding inspiration and, often, even new creative routes from the textiles and materials I have in my hands.
I am most influenced by visionary artists like Josep Grau-Garriga, Sheila Hicks and Victoria Zidaru, they all left a mark on my creative perspective and they have inspired me to create works that have a significant personal symbolism and well-built narratives.
