The small life of tapestries

  • • Natalia creates mini tapestries
  • • Needle and thread are her allies
  • • She likes to overcome limits

Natalia Cantarelli ended up practicing her trade due to life circumstances. After working as a horticultural technician, she started working in an art gallery where she had a mentor, Ana Baxter, who taught her how to work with the tapestry. She then studied fashion design at an experimental school and later entered the University of Art. She is currently still studying at the Escuela de Arte y Oficios, Pedro Figari. "I do work that has a personal identity, work that has its own signature, where a whole sensitive universe is captured with the use of colors," says Natalia. "I like to feel like a child, I like to feel that I am playing, that I am inventing, that I am learning to learn, that there is always something missing, that there are more and more paths to explore, that every day possibilities open up in terms of shapes, models, combinations, I like the infinity of my work."

Verbena

This is a bracelet made from nine rectangles. In their assembly, the rectangles are superimposed, generating a pleated effect. Natalia Cantarelli continues with the pattern of work that is the repeated flower, shifting the colours used in each repetition, generating a sense of movement.

Mother joy

This is a three-piece set: a pin, a pair of earrings and a necklace. They are part of the Madre Alegría family and maintain the same compositional intention, the drawing of a flower repeated inside a rectangle, as a frame, with warp.Natalia Cantarelli works with threads and colour. In this set, the natural cream colour gives warmth to the pieces.

Mother joy

This is a necklace created with the concept of composition. Each piece, five in total, has the drawing of a flower, and in each part the flower is similar but different. The earrings follow the same pattern.

Reds

These three pieces form a set in which the colour red predominates. The first piece is a pair of earrings made from small shapes that are joined one by one, using needle and thread.The bracelet is a rectangle that was created with the assembly of small segments, joined one by one. It is a piece where the texture of the velvet is enhanced. The necklace is a piece created with two types of threads, one opaque silk and the other metallic.
