• Letizia's straw marquetry landscapes feature organic earth tones
• She created a bespoke piece for Her Royal Highness Grand Duchess
• The National Museum of Luxembourg holds two of her sculptures

Letizia Romanini explored many mediums before discovering straw marquetry. "I was instantly captivated and knew the craft's precision and repetitive gestures suited both my temperament and artistic practice," she says. Letizia is inspired by nature, landscapes and flora, and her work explores memory, territory and perception while bringing a 17th-century craft into the present. Her pieces are characteristically abstract, organic and rendered in earthy tones, evoking the depth of landscape paintings. During a tour of her native country Luxembourg, Letizia traced borders by walking and observing, using these experiences to inhabit and interpret the land. The compositional lines of her photographs became the foundation for her straw marquetry designs.
