Tilleke Schwarz is an artist from the Netherlands.
She describes her work as “a kind of visual poetry. It is a mixture of contemporary influences, graffiti, icons, texts and traditional images from samplers. The embroidery contains narrative elements. Not really complete stories, with a beginning, a storyline, and an end. On the contrary, the narrative structures are used as a form of communication with the viewer.”
Each of her pieces is filled with creativity, colour, humour and life. They are a feast for the eyes.
The style is quite unique. It’s playful, it’s vibrant, it’s great. It’s Tilleke Schwarz!

You made my day,

PS. Our cat is very pleased too.
I bought Tilleke’s book a couple of months ago and LOVE it. Her work is very inspiring, not just visually but the stitching, phew!!!!!!! gorgeous!
I love what’s in the cat’s stomach, made me giggle. No wonder the cat is happy ๐
I love her work so much! There’s so much going on, you could look at these pieces for hours.
I do love that cat, too. ๐
I love the teal and brown ones especially, although I think I’m having a bit of a teal fetish at the moment. Feast for the eyes is definitely true! Very cool. ๐
oooh, awesome!!
These are great! I love the eclecticness of the subject matter, like a stitched thought map. Very cool.
I love her work. So detailed! You can really get lost in it.
Were you at Art in Action (Oxford) this year, in July?
Your work seems familiar to me
Yes, that is correct!
