TAPIS FOLIE - A CONTEMPORARY TAPESTRY

Shouldn't art be, in the first place, something that is really pleasant to look at? Something you can wonder or mesmerize about, something you can't keep your eyes off of? For my 'Tapis Folie' wall tapestry collection I'm on a constant quest for inspiring themes that spark my creativity.  I digitally create and edit my designs before transferring them to linen, satin or velvet, then paint and embellish the fabric. This post-painting adds the extra magic! The tapestry comes stretched on wood or as a 'loose fit' (no frame, but the beautiful heavy fabric straight on your wall) and is always finished with a very special trimming. My fun, my 'folie', lies exactly in adding these details.

All works are handmade, and each version is truly one of a kind.  Free work is available on this website unless indicated otherwise. Commissioned work? Let's discuss it! I'd love to work out your special wishes! Scroll down for all collections.
 
TREASURES
Buddha wall tapestries are little reminders of stillness. They add depth, meaning and quiet energy to your home. Some are available in two sizes, but even the small ones have a big impact in that one special corner! Click the image (slides) for more details.
THE BIRDS COLLECTION
Birds symbolize the boundless freedom to rise above, the courage to embrace transformation, and the eternal spark of hope that guides us forward. With their graceful wings and watchful eyes, they carry the ancient wisdom of the skies and whisper of a deeper spiritual connection beyond the visible world. Follow their flight—and rediscover your own. Click the image (slides) for more details.
 
FRENCH ELEGANCE
Two brand new works based on an original black-and-white Art Déco photograph (1936) of an unknown nude dancer at the Folie Bergère in Paris. Uniquely edited and painted, one on linen and one on velvet. Click the image (slides) for more details.
1900'S COLLECTION
Handpainted linens based on original photographs of dancers from the early 1900's and their performances on the greatest stages in the world. Click the image (slides) for more details.
The ‘See Beyond’ series is about bringing back people from long ago, to remind us of the beauty in every soul. The first impression of the outer appearance (colour, attitude, gender, looks), is softened by handpainted butterflies; symbol of beauty, vulnerability and transformation. See (and be seen) with different eyes!  Click the image (slides) for more details.
