The landscapes of the Andean region in Argentina with impressive multicolored mountain ranges and vast barren plains and salt deserts on the one hand and on the other the patterns of the hand-crafted Aguayo weaves and the traditional symbols of the Andean natives are an endless source of inspiration for my textile home accessories in earthy grays with bold color accents. All my ethnic designs are a textile symbiosis of contrasting elements: The rustic and elegant mix of materials, minimalism and surprising details, folklore and local flavor – but without kitsch.
