Vienna-based artist Martina Tscherni (Hall in Tirol 1963) is a graduate of the master classes for tapestry and graphics at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. In 2000 she was the winner of the Bauholding Kunstförderpreis, the predecessor of the STRABAG Artaward. By sensitively combining drawing and embroidery, Martina Tscherni creates works resulting from meticulous observation, which reproduce elements of flora and fauna isolated from their natural environment in microscopic enlargement. In nature the artist finds the motifs for her drawings, which fascinate with their richness of detail and precision. Yarn and thread sometimes extend and complete Martina Tscherni's drawings, giving them a three-dimensional character.
