FIBER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Jessica Costa: Transforming Wool into Sculptural Art What happens when traditional textile techniques meet contemporary sculpture?

Meet Jessica Costa, a Brazilian fiber artist based in São Paulo who transforms wool and yarn into bold, three-dimensional works of art. Using tufting techniques, Costa creates richly textured, organic forms that blur the boundaries between tapestry, painting, and sculpture. Her vibrant creations explore color, movement, and the relationship between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art. Drawing inspiration from generations of women who have practiced textile arts, Costa celebrates the creative possibilities of fiber while challenging conventional distinctions between art and craft. A finalist for the 2025 LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize, Costa is gaining international recognition for her innovative approach to textile art.
