Hunza valley embroidery
Vincent Sunflowers Vase, Van Gogh Tribute Panel
Wall Hangings
A full vase of orange-red and ochre sunflowers, the pot inscribed 'Vincent,' stands on a table line against a warm golden ground in direct homage to Van Gogh's sunflower still life. The blooms are built from dense, hatched silk stitching that imitates thick brushwork, adapting the heritage long-and-short qalmi technique into a painterly picture. As a framed-style art panel it embodies the wall-hanging tradition of embroidery presented as fine art rather than floor covering.
The tradition
Hunza valley embroidery
The wall hangings carry Hunza's embroidery off the body and onto the wall. They blend traditional valley motifs — the same ibex horns, leopards and floral forms found on caps and wedding veils — with the freer compositions of contemporary artists trained in the workshop.
Made to be seen as textile art, each hanging is a panel of dense hand embroidery rather than a functional floor piece, so the silk catches the light and the design can be read close-up.
