ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Jorgelina Lopez. I am a Textile Designer born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and currently based in Baltimore, MD. My love for textiles is eternal and I have always collected them, treasuring them as pieces of art and history. Textiles in any form inspire and fuel my passion.
In 2015, I moved to Baltimore City and continued my career as a designer and in 2017, I founded La Loupe, an independent design studio that specializes in handcrafted interior lighting and home decor.
During that first period in Baltimore, I also began exploring embroidery on my free time and found inspiration from one of my favorite artists as an starting point of my journey with embroidery.
Egon Schiele Embroidery Art
Since then, I have been creating my own interpretation of Egon Schiele's drawings as a way to pay tribute to his unique style. Using hand-stitching, collage, and experimental embroidery, I explore different ways to translate Schiele's artwork into this medium. I am captivated by his artwork and meticulously examine each line and detail to capture his unique artistic expression in my hand-stitched creations.
