Knots Rugs is proud to present our new artist collaboration with Barcelona based artist Alicia Gimeno. The collection was inspired by a trip to the Chepang community in Nepal as part of the Bahadur Social Project, an NGO focused on improving the lives of children. The four rugs in the collection are named after 4 little girls Alicia met.

'Rabina was a bold, brave and very intelligent child. Her family situation was somewhat worse than the rest, her parents' alcoholism or lack of education meant that she hardly ever went to school. Even so, she did not seem to lose the strong energy that characterised her. Rabina woke up in the morning, took care of her family's animals, looked after the crops and her younger siblings, and still had the strength to go to school to learn to write when her parents allowed her to do so'.

Artist Collaboration

Alicia Gimeno

Barcelona born artist Alicia Gimeno combines the organic forms of Catalan modernism with a deep interest in spirituality, particularly as expressed in Japanese calligraphy.

Trained in graphic design in Mexico, Alicia was drawn early on to the gestural beauty of calligraphy. Her exploration led her to oriental calligraphy, where she discovered the spiritual depth of the written word, seeing it as an expression beyond language.

Alicia’s work is characterized by abstract calligraphies infused with botanical elements. She uses minimal color, focusing instead on the energetic expression of brushstrokes, inviting viewers into a contemplative state. Through her art, she seeks to connect us to the simple, pure aspects of nature, encouraging introspection and a sense of unity with the natural world.

Her work reflects concepts from Eastern philosophy, like Wabi Sabi—finding beauty in imperfection—and Ma, the significance of negative space within context.
