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.

“Overgrown, neuron forest rendered in gold foil and white-on-white embroidery on layered organza over cyanotype portrait.”
“Simple, evocative - it speaks to abundance, saturation, the uncontainable nature of inner life.”
“A beautiful contradiction of internal/controlled versus wild/organic, the blue cyanotype textural portrait captures the layering of identity, while the neural forest grows dense and untamed above it.”
Pinal Maniar, 2025.
