Painter Makes Remarkable Embroidery Art Inspired By Men

Sol Kesseler is an embroidery artist whose muses aren’t women, but men. The artist who was a painter says that she started to embroider as a hobby, but later it started to take all of her time.

“Then there was a call for artists in Argentina Fundación Telefónica,” the artist shared in an interview done with curator Alana J. Coates. “The call was for textile artists who wanted to learn how to make smart garments, fabrics that support digital components.”

The Buenos Aires-based Kesseler began traveling the world, so she could master her embroidery technique. She also shares mini tutorials on her Instagram account where she has attracted over 14.3 thousand followers.

“For me, it is important to incorporate touch, because when I embroider, I use my hands,” she added. “The final piece is visual, but I like the viewer to have the sensation that I have in the studio. Having a thread in my hands is a very nice feeling. It can transport you to memories of very intimate moments, such as recalling soft fabrics used for baby bedding. And viewers are not accustomed to touching the art.”
