Hello:

Ornellla Ridone, Mexican textile artist, she was born in 1955 in Italy, where she began her training as a textile artist. In the decade of the eighties he exhibited his works in Milan, Turin and also in Florence.
In the nineties he moved to Mexico City and began an artistic experimentation using space as a fundamental piece, working with his textile installations that he exhibited in some galleries and museums in Mexico City and London.
Now she lives and works in her workshop in the city of Oaxaca de Juarez.
She is a self-taught artist for me, although obviously her academic training is inpresioante, began with nude drawing, a few years later, textile sculpture and, Land art, and finally Shopo (Japanese calligraphy), is very professional and passionate.
I like this artist and she inspired me in my academic process, because her work is very complete using installation and embroidery and incorporates the expressive media such as video and performance.
I feel that it takes the embroidery to a higher level, because the simplicity that it has in its work is the veratility of the material at its maximum expression.
My like the materials using her pieces like metal with textile, embroydery in iron, clothes recycling and paint.
My favorite work is where she embroider on metal.
