Santo Cielo
Santo was surrounded by fabrics, threads, and dressmakers his whole life. He started learning embroidery in 2015 while he was doing interviews with needle crafters for his bachelor degree thesis. Thanks to those women, he was able to discover and learn beautiful techniques.
Nowadays, his work is focused mostly on portraits of animals and humans using the needle painting technique. He always finds inspiration in nature, everyday life, and things that evoke nostalgia.
He loves to impart his passion and skills to others, finding beauty in the verbal and mimetic transmission of this knowledge. Discover the world of embroidery with Santo Cielo!
