MILLA NOVO

​

Milla Novo is an artist based in the Netherlands. She creates exclusive wallhangings for high-end interiors. These unique pieces of art are all designed and hand made by Milla Novo in her studio near Amsterdam and are created specifically for the clients’ needs.

Although Milla is currently based in Europe, she has a deep connection with South America and this is where she takes her inspiration from. Her roots lie with the indigenous inhabitants of south-central Chile, The ‘Mapuche’ people. Her mother who still resides in Chile continues to play an active role in the Mapuche community and practices traditional Mapuche weaving techniques. She has helped introducing Milla to the patterns and symbols that have been used for centuries, turning these symbols and their meanings both fascinate and inspire Milla Novo to create her own works of art. She integrates these symbols into many of her large wall-hangings which allows her to share a small part of Mapuche heritage with anyone who sees her work.
