Eline Groeneweg-Bhatt is a Dutch textile artist based in India. Her studio brings together Indian textile traditions and her Dutch design background, integrating distinct visual languages to create a dialogue between cultures.
In collaboration with craftspeople, she creates limited-edition textiles designed for exhibition and interior spaces. The resulting pieces — wall hangings, textile panels, and spatial dividers — connect cultures and invite new ways of seeing.
“I set out to create a visual language. A shared language, or at least a language that brings together elements of both my worlds. I am not seeking a confrontation between one and the other, but rather the quiet space in between.”
Work by Studio Bhatt has been exhibited internationally at venues including Fashion and Textile Museum (London), Fries Museum, Zuiderzee Museum, Dutch Design Week (Netherlands), Kanoria Centre for Arts (India), and other cultural venues. She was a finalist for the Isola Design Awards 2025 (Textiles).
Eline has a background in Textile Design (Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam) and Arts and Cultural Studies / Arts Administration (Erasmus University Rotterdam and the University of London). Alongside her studio practice, she is a regular visiting lecturer at design academies in India.
My updates might be very infrequent, but I will pop up every once in a while with something interesting (from India).
