The “Berbos de Tramas – Artistic Rituals” collection is a deeply sustainable project, born from the desire to give new life to reclaimed and discarded materials. Throughout this journey, the work of Maria Lai has been a fundamental source of inspiration and a guiding influence on my artistic research.
Each piece is unique and unrepeatable, just like the emotions that accompany its creation.
Through these works, I tell stories to those who are willing to listen. I open my soul to those who choose to read it and allow themselves to be carried into worlds shaped by myths, dreams, memory, and remembrance.
The works in this collection are what I call emotional textile paintings. They often emerge from a sudden intuition and a profound need to give form to emotions born from lived experiences, whether joyful or painful. Materials, colors, contrasts, and words intertwine to create compositions that resemble pages from an intimate diary—deeply personal, yet open to the interpretations and emotions of those who encounter them.
Over time, this artistic research has expanded into new projects such as Nàra and S'Ogu e su Coro. In these works, embroidery becomes both a narrative gesture and a ritual practice, while the concept of the talisman becomes an essential part of my artistic language. Every symbol is the result of an in-depth study of Sardinian traditions and is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, transforming ancient signs into a personal visual vocabulary that preserves memory, identity, and protection.
Thread is a recurring element throughout my practice. It does more than connect materials—it weaves together stories, experiences, and meanings. Embroidery becomes a silent form of writing, an artistic alphabet through which every symbol tells a story and every artwork becomes a vessel of memory and symbolic energy, inviting an intimate dialogue with the viewer.
What fascinates me most is witnessing the unique relationship each person establishes with the work. The meaning perceived by the viewer does not need to coincide with my own; on the contrary, every interpretation enriches the narrative and becomes an integral part of the artwork itself.
