Portuguese artist Aheneah combines modern graphics and traditional embroidery techniques to create large-format murals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aheneah developed\nthe techniques she uses for creating her large murals while studying design. As\npart of her bachelor thesis, she explored the connection between digitally generated\ngraphics and analogue handicrafts. The results of all this interesting mix are\nimpressive works which take up a whole wall and transform pixels consisting of\nan individual cross-stitch into large, almost photo-realistic images. Aheneah\nhas succeeded in creating contemporary works of art that present a traditional\ncraft in a new context using digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist\u2019s\nembroidered murals reference a traditional Portuguese craft. Portugal has a\nlong heritage of embroidery. It has survived in many regions of the country and\nis not just something that is maintained by the older generation but is a craft\nthat has no problem finding new practitioners amongst the young. Embroidery is\npractised across the generations in villages and towns, from church halls to facebook\ngroups. You find embroidery used in the private sphere in peoples\u2019 homes, on\ngarments, but also on sale at local farmers\u2019 markets, and it is also a popular\nsouvenir for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aheneah\u2019s works\nof art showcase the traditional craft in a modern context. She breaks down\nphotographic images and drawings into individual pixels on her computer and then\nconverts the pixels into individual cross stitches, which she late \u201cembroiders\u201d\non a bare wall or house facade. She created her first wall installation in\nSeptember 2016, a sports shoe entitled \u201cGo Big or Go Home\u201d and which was initially\nintended as an experiment. Aheneah used it to test just how suitable cross-stitch\nwas as a technique, laying the foundation for her later murals, which can be\nfound all over Europe in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Aheneah created two murals in the French town of Bayonne. They were intended to inspire viewers, to pause, take a deep breath and simply enjoy the moment. As the artist explains, \u201cLiving in an age that is very much determined by technology means that we often forget just how complicated, rich, yet fragile, the ecosystem in which we live actually is\u201d. The subject only really reveals itself when viewed from a distance. At close range, the individual cross-stitches merely appear to be different splashes of colour. It is only as you step back that they merge to become the image of a face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aheneah has gained fame throughout Europe in the meantime. Alongside her artistic output, she also teaches her cross-stitch technique in workshops and at communal events<\/a> and regularly presents new works at different textile festivals, such as the renowned British Textile Biennial<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
