Pinal Maniar is a contemporary textile artist whose work explores cultural identity, memory, and place through natural materials and traditional craft processes.
Drawing inspiration from natural landscapes, she combines natural dyeing, embroidery, and weaving to reimagine ancient techniques within a contemporary context.
Her tactile works bridge personal memory with collective histories, evoking themes of belonging, transformation, and environmental connection. Through her textile-based pieces and installations, Pinal invites viewers to slow down and reflect on the stories embedded within fibre—honouring ancestral knowledge while engaging with the present moment.

“Interlaced, reveals the neural connectors - the synaptic bridges and pathways that bind thoughts to feelings, memories to sensations, self to experiences.”
“The blue cyanotype portrait is the foundation, the ghost of identity, while gold and white threads weave across layered organza above.”
“We are not singular but woven, not fixed but threaded together by millions of delicate connections.”
Pinal Maniar, 2025.
