A course by Ofelia & Antelmo
Ofelia & Antelmo is a project created by Gabriela Martínez—Textile Designer and Artist—which began in 2017 as a contemporary textile art project working across two formats: textile art and wearable art.
Textile art is where Gabriela explores her ideas using color, texture, stitches, and embroidery effects to create artisanal pieces with unique finishing touches that are resistant to wear and tear. Her aim is to focus on the quality of each piece, instead of producing high quantities. There is an intention of longevity in her work as a form of protest against the disposable, fast-paced world we live in today.
