Tapis tufté à la main « Ciapek Art » en rose

Anna gawecka (born 1981) is a polish visual artist currently residing in amsterdam. Practising light painting since 2014, she began exploring hand-tufting alongside other fabric-based techniques as a new path for her artistic expression. She soon found it ignited her joy and creativity, challenging her to translate the essence of her light painting into a tactile form—blending movement, shapes, and reflections of light with the rich textures of wool and thread. Anna focuses her craft on using only rescued yarn—either from unravelled sweaters lovingly sent by her mum or surplus wool she discovers through friends, donations, or unexpected finds. This approach allows her to connect her creations more deeply with her sensitivity to nature, the very source of her inspiration. This rug is part of the ciapek art collection—a pawsitive collaboration between anna and her playful companion, ciapek the cat. Inspired by his wild yarn adventures and the charming mess he leaves behind, each creation is infused with his playful spirit, adding a touch of whimsy and warmth to your home. This series explores a mix of techniques, combining colours, textures, and styles to create a vibrant and diverse range of pieces. Ciapek art – pink in grey. Unique hand-tufted and hand-shaved rug. Mix of two colours of 100% rescued acrylic. For this rug, Anna has created a unique blend by intertwining two threads of bright pink and grey yarn. This results in a dotted effect flowing across the rug, balancing the vibrancy of the pink with the softness of the grey.
