PORTFOLIO

hello@soetkinclaeys.be

I am a textile designer, and my work revolves around patterns, prints, and the exploration of structures. My designs often originate from personal experiences: my surroundings, memories, and self-image form the foundation of my work.

Patterns and repetition lie at the core of my visual language. I often begin with photographic images, which I distort, repeat, and abstract into new structures. Recognizable elements are transformed into visual translations of how I experience my environment. Color plays a central role: vibrant hues bring energy and draw attention. They create a playful and inviting atmosphere, while also expressing my need for visibility.

My work is intuitive and experimental, using techniques such as screen printing, jacquard weaving, and digital printing to connect image and material. Textiles make everything tangible and tactile, which I consider a special and beautiful quality, allowing my designs to offer a direct, physical translation of my personal experiences and visual ideas.
