HEFESTA
2024 Textile Tapestry in Arraiolos stitch and painting on burlap 170 x 80 cm
Inspired by Hephaestus, the god of the forge and strength, this artwork represents a leap into the unknown, combining its colors with both delicacy and power. The contrasting pink with green, red, and yellow symbolizes universal strength and the courage to live, employing the outline stitch dating back to the first Arraiolos stitch tapestries of the 16th century. Hefesta also uses the wool leftovers from several pieces produced in the studio.
