For Julia Trofimova, textile becomes a way of shaping space where line, rhythm and structure are softened by the tactile and unpredictable nature of yarn.
Paris-based Estonian textile artist Julia Trofimova creates large-scale hand-tufted works at the intersection of abstraction, material and architecture. Drawing on her background in fashion and textile design, she explores line, proportion and rhythm through tactile compositions where graphic structure meets the softness and irregularity of yarn.
Often conceived in dialogue with their architectural surroundings, her works range from independent pieces to site-specific and cross-disciplinary projects. In 2026, Trofimova collaborated with Rick Owens, developing hand-tufted and manipulated textile surfaces for a series of garments.
