# Unraveling Landscape Tapestries Artist Ana Teresa Barboza Tells Stories Through Her Tapestries By M | Published 2014-06-17 | Updated 2014-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-ana-teresa-barboza References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2014/06/17/Nature-As-Beautifully-Embroidered-by-Ana-Teresa-Barboza/) & [anateresabarboza.blogspot](http://anateresabarboza.blogspot.ca/) Talented craftsperson and artist Ana Teresa Barboza’s beautiful [embroidery artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) depict several breathtaking landscape scenes. Barboza constructs images of landscape scenes such as oceans, mountains and forests with beautiful technicolor thread. Each of Barboza’s tapestries are contained within a circular frame. Barboza expertly knits the thread through a mesh fabric to replicate the landscape designs. As the viewer begins to look outside the frame, they notice that the embroidery is actually beginning to come undone. The threads are unraveling and spilling out of the frame perhaps as a commentary on the on-going [human destruction of the environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remembering-the-future). I think Barboza is also commenting on how the environment is a free entity that cannot be contained by civilization. Barboza’s work has been showcased in various art galleries and exhibits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Landscape Embroidery Art:** The utilization of embroidery and other textiles to depict natural landscapes for decorative purposes. - **Environmental Commentary Art:** Artists aiming to raise awareness on environmental issues through their artworks. - **Circular Frame Artwork:** Artists creating circular embroidery tapestries for a unique viewing experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Textile and Embroidery Industry:** Companies producing and selling textiles and embroidery materials can capitalize on artists like Barboza using these materials in their artwork. - **Art Gallery Industry:** Art galleries can provide a platform for artists with a message, such as environmental commentary or circular frame artworks. - **Eco-friendly Lifestyle Industry:** Businesses that focus on encouraging sustainable living and environmental awareness can leverage environmental commentary art to connect with their audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Politically Artful Textile Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unravel-the-power-and-politics-of-textiles-in-art.md) - [Handwoven Colorful Tapestries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versus-edition-one.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Limited Semi-Biographical Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncertainty.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Culturally Artful Textile Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devotion-exhibtion.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md)
