Alexandra Kehayoglou is a wool artist based in Argentina who learned her hand-tufting techniques from Greek grandparents who brought their rug and carpet making traditions with them when they immigrated to South America.
Her creative inspirations include the landscapes of her country and her childhood garden.

Wow! This is a good example of why hand tufted rugs can offer so much more detail and individual creative style!
Great Job : )

Thank you for sharing this! I love when mediums that are usually deemed “crafting” mediums (and often in a derogatory way) are also seen as “art”.

Gorgeous! Interesting link to the family business background. Some people just HAVE to make art, and the world is better off for it!

How totally unique. It just shows that creativity can take many forms. You build on what you know. With her family’s background in carpet making it makes sense that she would build on that. Her work is beautiful and I am assuming from the size of her pieces she must be successful.

I believe she is very successful and I wish I could read her comments in her language. She is clearly imbued with the family’s artistic history, and her work is wonderful.
