EMBROIDERY ON PAPER
LANDSCAPES
Lola's landscape artworks transform natural scenery into minimal, colour-driven compositions that feel like abstracted memories rather than physical places. Across her landscape works, she typically uses digital illustration as a base with embroidery elements layered on top.
CITIES
A distinctive body of city-themed artworks that explore urban environments through simplified forms, strong colour palettes, and a mix of digital and textile techniques. Grids, repetition, and stitching suggest cities as organised but restrictive systems. These city landscapes are often empty or silent, with a focus on architecture rather than people.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Signs of the Times is a compelling series of contemporary embroidery on paper. Lola Ortega Rodas transforms familiar graphic imagery, such as road signs, into tactile, hand-stitched conceptual artworks that reflect the solitude and social dynamics of our time. The works might appear crisp and graphic at first glance, but the embroidery reveals the artist’s deliberate intersection of line, texture, and meaning.
