ArtWork Details
Historia de Vida en Puntadas Ada Colocho tells a life story through thread, stitch, and fabric. Selûn Collective offers this limited edition giclée print as part of the Ada Collection. It comes in A2 size (42 × 59.4 cm / 16.5 × 23.4″) on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
The title translates to "Life Story in Stitches." Specifically, each hand-embroidered element represents a chapter in a deeply personal narrative. Trees, birds, corals, clouds, and flowers emerge from the fabric. As a result, the composition reads like a visual autobiography , crafted with care, emotion, and the patience that only hand embroidery demands.
Furthermore, the Historia de Vida en Puntadas Ada Colocho print reflects a lifelong relationship with needlework. Colocho learned basic hand embroidery as a girl of twelve. She recalls her mother sitting on an old wooden bench, working on embroidery beside a rushing river. These childhood memories infuse every stitch with emotional and spiritual richness. Consequently, the piece becomes both tribute and testimony, a celebration of creativity and resilience.
In addition, Colocho dedicates herself to reviving the shared heritage of textile art. Since the beginning of humanity, embroidery has held an important place in almost every aspect of life. However, recent generations have nearly forgotten this tradition. Above all, the Historia de Vida en Puntadas Ada Colocho artwork presents this ancient craft through a contemporary artist's vision, perception, and spirit.
