These aren't your grandmother’s shag carpets, Alexandra Kehayoglou creates incredible rugs that look like miniature pastures and meadows. Each hand-tufted piece is a tribute to the landscape of the artist’s native Argentina. As a granddaughter of Greek immigrants, she grew up following a textile tradition that was developed thousands of years ago in Asia Minor. After graduating with a degree in visual arts, Kehayoglou returned to her roots make carpets as her ancestors did, but with a twist. As varied as the grasses of South America, the carpets are beautiful representations of natural and cultural heritage.

Estas no son las alfombras peludas de tu abuela, Alexandra Kehayoglou crea alfombras increíbles que parecen prados y pastizales en miniatura. Cada mechón de hilo es puesto a mano, y es un homenaje al paisaje de Argentina de donde la artista es nativa. Nieta de inmigrantes griegos, creció siguiendo la raíz de una tradición textil que fue desarrollada hace miles de años en Asia menor. Después de graduarse con una licenciatura en artes visuales, Kehayoglou volvió a sus raíces haciendo alfombras como lo hicieron sus antepasados, pero con un giro diferente. Tan variados como los pastos de América del Sur, las alfombras son hermosas representaciones del patrimonio natural y cultural.
