Silk Scarf · Georg Miciu · Oil N° 3539, 2025

100% silk · 85 x 85 cm · edges stitched by hand

Georg Miciu was born in Austria in 1946, son of a painter and a pianist, and was brought to Argentina as a child. He trained as a musician, and left it at eighteen to paint.

He took his Patagonian paintings to Jerusalem, Paris, Stuttgart, Barcelona and Granada. Then he stopped showing them, and spent thirty years painting Patagonia instead. It is the work he is known for.

A few years ago he left. He is painting still, from the north of the country, far from anywhere. This scarf carries a detail of Oil N° 3539, painted there in 2025.

He works outdoors, in oil, with a palette knife. He is not chasing the landscape exactly as it is. He is chasing the light. After thirty years of Patagonian light, this is the light of the north.

The silk is 100 per cent, [momme] momme [tejido]. The edges are rolled and stitched by hand, which is the only way the border of a silk scarf falls the way it should.
