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.

“Untethered, captures birds lifting from the forest canopy, their three -dimensional forms breaking free from the flat plane of the mind. “
“They represent imagination, creativity, the freedom of thought that cannot be mapped or contained. The hint of blue cyanotype portrait remains beneath - the ghost of self barely visible. “
“The neural forest grows dense in gold and white thread. But here, the organza is cut away, opened- and through these apertures, birds of imagination and creativity take flight.”
Pinal Maniar, 2025.
