About us
Mariana Baertl is a Peruvian textile artist based in Barcelona. Her work combines various fiber techniques—embroidery, weaving, and appliqué—to create flowing, layered compositions made from natural materials such as cotton rope, raffia, and fabric.
Through her use of organic forms and earthy tones, Mariana evokes a sense of calm and connection to nature. Her pieces often resemble landscapes, trees, or rivers—symbols of movement and transformation that inspire her practice. The layered fringes and tactile textures invite viewers to pause, touch, and contemplate, creating a dialogue between material and emotion.
Mariana’s journey began in Peru, where she studied Fashion Design. After moving to Barcelona, she specialized in Haute Couture and pattern making, later earning a postgraduate degree in Fashion Business Management at Pompeu Fabra University. Her transition into fiber art began in 2016, when she started weaving and, soon after, discovered embroidery—its organic and free-flowing nature resonating deeply with her.
Today, Mariana’s work merges technical precision with intuitive expression. Each piece is a meditation on texture, rhythm, and balance—crafted to bring a sense of peace and grounded beauty to the spaces they inhabit.
“I want to connect people to feelings of peace and relaxation through my artwork. The way I work with the fiber is natural, organic, and free, so that each piece can bring that same quiet energy into its newfound home.”
