Silke Rys
illustration and textile artist
background
Graduated at LUCA School of Arts Brussels as a graphic storyteller, I focussed on telling stories with images. My fascination for textile brought me to the craft of handtufting rugs and turning my illustrations into spatial and tactile works.
Illustrations
Starting from color combinations and textures, I look for a balance between the figurative image and abstract form.

Every step of the process happens in my atelier in Leuven, Belgium. Starting with a design, handtufting it on the backing fabric and eventually finishing the rug.
I like to create unique pieces, often inspired by and fitting the space it's made for.
