Vase Composition XII’26 (2026) Original Relief by Milena Paladino

Vase Composition XII’26 is an original textile artwork exploring the relationship between form, material, and space through the quiet language of still life.

A composition of abstract vessels emerges from a richly textured architectural setting, where layered geometric planes create a sense of depth and perspective. The organic contours of the vase forms contrast with the structured background, establishing a dialogue between softness and geometry, simplicity and complexity.

The restrained palette of warm ivory, natural linen, soft grey, and deep brown gives the piece a timeless, understated character. Rather than depicting vessels as purely functional objects, the artwork transforms them into sculptural silhouettes — forms that invite contemplation through their proportions, overlapping outlines, and relationship to the surrounding space.

Created on linen using a combination of punch needle and traditional embroidery, the work brings together alpaca, wool, and cotton yarns. The different fibers contribute to its tactile richness, allowing texture to become an essential part of the composition. Directional stitching defines the geometric background, while embroidered outlines articulate the vessels against the natural fabric surface.

The result occupies a space between painting, drawing, and textile sculpture. It is an artwork intended not only to be viewed, but also to be experienced through its material presence, subtle relief, and interplay of light and shadow.

Presented in an included linden wood frame, it is ready to become a focal point in a contemporary, minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired, or naturally layered interior. This textile artwork works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, reading corners, creative studios, and thoughtfully curated spaces. Its neutral palette and tactile surface complement natural wood, linen upholstery, stone, muted walls, and understated contemporary furniture.

Displayed on its own, it creates a quiet focal point. It can also be incorporated into a larger collection of contemporary art, ceramics, and sculptural objects.

Vase Composition XII’26 is part of an ongoing exploration of vessels, geometric structures, and tactile abstraction — a contemporary still life expressed through thread, texture, and form.
