Synthesis of Centuries of History and Modernity
At SOL & ART, we merge the timeless elegance of traditional textile techniques with the bold creativity of modern design. My personal creations bring a fresh, contemporary perspective to the collection, while other pieces are crafted by exceptional artists whose designs are inspired by rich cultural traditions and timeless motifs.
Martha Sofia Drasdo
Founder & Managing Director
My journey to founding SOL & ART was shaped by a dynamic career in investment banking and the energy industry, which took me across continents and immersed me in diverse cultures.
After a parenting break, I followed my passion for art by establishing SOL & ART.
My experiences with different cultures have greatly influenced my leadership, promoting cultural appreciation and celebrating traditional craftsmanship.
Today, I create original designs for SOL & ART, blending contemporary vision with traditional embroidery techniques, brought to life by skilled artists and artisans.
Our Name
The name SOL & ART derives its inspiration from two words. "Sol," meaning "sun" in Spanish, symbolizes life, energy, influence, strength, and power—the vibrant force that illuminates our world.
"Art" encompasses the expression and implementation of human creative skill and imagination. It represents the endless possibilities, beauty, and transformative power that art brings to our lives.
By combining these two powerful concepts, SOL & ART represents the fusion of life-giving energy and the boundless realm of artistic expression. It encapsulates our mission to bring forth captivating textile artworks that radiate energy, creativity, and the profound impact of art in our existence.
