Collection: Interwoven Visions

The journey of an artist often begins with a single line. For Mark Czar Espenilla, that line began in childhood, tracing the silhouettes of favorite cartoon characters and filling the walls of his family home with color. What started as a youthful fascination with drawing has since evolved into a sophisticated exploration of texture, geometry, and tension.  
Interwoven showcases Espenilla’s transition from the fluid strokes of a pencil to the structured complexity of string art and embroidery. His path to this unique medium was paved by digital discovery; stumbling upon the world of string art on YouTube, he became captivated by the aesthetic harmony of geometric patterns. He saw beauty in the contrast—the cold, rigid placement of nails against the soft, vibrant flow of thread.

Every piece in this collection is a testament to the artist’s dedication to the craft. By meticulously carving into wood and embroidering through canvas, Espenilla transforms raw materials into intricate designs. His process is one of patience and precision, where a single misplaced thread can alter the entire symmetry of the work.

Driven by a constant desire to refine his skills, Espenilla’s work bridge the gap between traditional craft and contemporary fine art. This exhibit is not just a display of skill, but a celebration of a passion that has been nurtured from the living room wall to the gallery floor. Through these interwoven threads, we see the story of an artist finding his voice, one layer at a time.
