Collection: Carmina | Mixed Media Textile Art

Carmina is a series of contemporary textile artworks inspired by the emotional intensity and tragic beauty of Georges Bizet’s Carmen. Created from layered fabrics, lace, stitched fragments, and hand-assembled textiles, these works explore themes of passion, desire, freedom, seduction, and impermanence.

Rather than illustrating the opera directly, the series responds to its emotional atmosphere — the tension between tenderness and danger, softness and defiance. The abstract forms rise like fragile figures or flowers suspended in space, carrying a quiet theatrical presence. Pleated fabrics, distressed textures, and delicate stitching become visual echoes of movement, memory, and voice.

Each piece is constructed intuitively from reclaimed textiles, painted fabrics, embroidery, and mixed-media collage techniques. The tactile surfaces reveal the artist’s fascination with transformation: fabric becomes landscape, thread becomes gesture, and fragments become narrative.

With a palette moving between deep plum, black, ivory, muted earth tones, and flashes of crimson and gold, Carmina reflects both intimacy and drama. These one-of-a-kind textile wall hangings are designed for collectors, interior designers, and contemporary spaces seeking art with emotional depth, texture, and sculptural presence.
