David Poyant is a contemporary embroidery artist whose work transforms the traditional craft of needlework into a powerful form of visual storytelling. Entirely hand-sewn, his pieces merge fine-art composition with the intimacy of textiles, creating richly textured worlds one stitch at a time. Beginning his artistic life later in adulthood, Poyant brings to his practice a deep sense of reinvention, memory, and lived experience. His decades as a cobbler and craftsman inform the patience, precision, and tactile sensitivity that define his work today.
