Embroidered Tapestry Creation

Mariana Baertl is the founder of Living Fibers and a textile artist specializing in handmade embroidery and knit decor for indoor spaces. She studied fashion design in Peru before moving to Barcelona, Spain, where she perfected her technique and started working in haute couture and patternmaking.

After working many years as a fashion designer, she decided to change course and devote her time to textile art. All of her pieces are hand-embroidered with threads and yarns from around the world. Her biggest source of inspiration is nature, especially its shapes and movements.
