Sheriffah Arewa
Founder of Fybre Studios
I’m a multidisciplinary artist and the founder of Fybre Studios. My main focus is tufting, but I also explore graphic design, painting, drawing, and embroidery, allowing me to bring a diverse range of creativity to my work.
I’ve spent time in South Korea and London, where I honed my tufting skills and participated in over 10 exhibitions. During that time, I collaborated with collectives like The Hechyeomoyeo and Bincan, and partnered with galleries such as East Atelier Gallery and Villa Oasis Tufting. These experiences have deeply influenced my approach to art, fueling my passion for creating tactile and meaningful pieces.
What began as simple doodles has blossomed into a refined collection of digital abstract art. These pieces reflect an exploration of form, color, and movement, transforming initial sketches into striking visual statements. This collection has been featured in multiple galleries in Seoul, South Korea, and has gained international recognition, with prints now owned by over 50 art enthusiasts worldwide. Each piece is a testament to the evolution of creativity, blending spontaneity with thoughtful design.
Project 04
Embroidery on paper was a completely new medium for me, one that I discovered after seeing an inspiring image and decided to try myself. This unexpected experiment turned into a fun and rewarding learning experience. I’ve enjoyed exploring the delicate interaction between thread and paper, creating intricate designs with this unique technique. Moving forward, I hope to incorporate this method into my rug-making process, blending two of my favorite mediums in innovative ways.
