Geometric Motifs from Traditional Back Apron (Opreg) is an open-edition Giclée fine art print measuring 50 x 70 cm. It includes a 3 cm white border, making it ready to frame.

Artwork Description

This fine art print brings a piece of Romanian heritage into your home. The design is adapted from a traditional back apron - opreg (pronounced oh-preg), worn by women in the Banat region of Romania. These aprons are known for their vibrant geometric or floral designs woven into a dark background. This print captures that intricate beauty, transforming a historical textile motif into a timeless piece of contemporary wall art.

The historical description of the inspirational piece, an opreg from Sacu, Caraș-Severin county, dating to the second quarter of the 20th century, is provided courtesy of ethnologist and PhD candidate Alexandra Negrilă. The original apron is composed of a petec (pronounced pe-tech)- a patch/piece, woven on a loom with 4 heddles, and fringes and features geometric motifs made of wool and cotton in a rich color palette of white, green, red, brown, orange, blue, and purple.
