These are some fierce women, aren’t they? With their powerful poses, archetypal silhouettes and tribal patterned-garb, these ladies are not to be reckoned with. Embroidery by Argentinian artist Guillermina Baiguera.

Miga de Pan is an artist and embroidery wizard from Buenos Aires. It’s unbelievable how creative her designs are – especially given that it’s, um… EMBROIDERED!

Irana Douer is an Argentinian artist whose work caught my eye on Pattern Pulp.  Douer has formed a private lexicon of symbols and postures that appears to have roots in Native American culture. Her women thus come off as mysterious, powerful but seem bound (for good or bad) by their womanhood.

Nautical-themed whimsy by Buenos Aires illustrator Carolina Torres via design work life. Her work is so appealing and happy and innocent. It’s filled with humor and chock-full of rich details. I love the palette and the faded, lived-in patina. And, wow, the artist is only 26!
