Elina?s art statement: My Fiber textile artwork is sustainable wearable art, hand made from eco materials silk and raw fine wool. All garments and accessories reversible, without any seams, warm and delicate, unbelievably soft. They are also thin and the shear has an airy texture and a sensitive dialogue of eco friendly materials.
Silk and wool are natural, eco organic, and sustainable materials which are integrated through nunofelted technique.
I am inspired of all God?s creation! Amazing ancient silk painting and nuno felting techniques with integration of modern design and approaches! The materials are High end luxurious, designed to reveal unique personality, sense of style, creativity and imagination. For His Love and Mercy and beautiful creations surrounding us and endless possibilities with Him!
