Vision and approach

Embroidery boring and old-fashioned? It certainly isn't. With my work, I want to show that embroidery can be very contemporary and fits perfectly into modern interiors.

My artworks arise organically, without a set plan and directly from my own creativity. My style is mostly abstract with graphic elements and a clean aesthetic where colour plays an important role. I spend a lot of attention and time looking for the right colour combinations.

The canvas forms the foundation (base) of my embroideries. For creating a large work, I choose a soedan or smyrna canvas, which adds a contemporary look due to its coarser structure. I use various types of wool and cotton and sometimes I also incorporate other materials into my creations such as shells, buttons or beads, to add a particular accent. For small works (see Emboidery various), I use the so-called aïda canvas and embroider with traditional embroidery thread.

When a large embroidery is completed, I spray the fabric with an eco fibre protector to ensure durability. The artwork is professionally framed with a handy hanging system for the perfect finish.
