The distinction
"A fine art tapestry is not decoration — it is a painting that happens to live on silk." — Kostyantin Malginov
Most interior wall art is manufactured — printed, woven by machine, reproduced in hundreds or thousands. A fine art tapestry is something else entirely: a gallery-quality original created by one textile artist's hand, existing nowhere else on earth. It is a statement piece in the truest sense.
Malginov's tapestries are painted on 100% natural silk using a precise silk painting technique with professional textile dyes. The process is irreversible — each mark is permanent. What you receive is not a product; it is a collectible art object, issued with provenance documentation and held to the same standards as any work entering a serious collection.

No assistants, no machines, no shortcuts. From first brushstroke to final heat-set — one artist, one work.
Works held in private collections across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
The artist
Born in Ukraine, Malginov has spent over two decades mastering silk painting — a discipline demanding total control and complete surrender simultaneously. As a textile artist working exclusively in the fiber art tradition, his hand-painted silk tapestries are held in private collections across the United States, Europe, and Asia, and exhibited internationally.
Every tapestry is made entirely by his hand — no assistants, no digital tools, no prints. Each bespoke artwork is documented in the artist's archive and issued a signed certificate before it leaves the studio. For those seeking a commission artwork, Malginov accepts a small number of custom pieces each year.
Collector's guide
Large-format woven wall art and hand-painted silk pieces (60"+) anchor a room alone as a statement piece. Medium works (30–60") suit gallery arrangements. Avoid direct sunlight — UV light fades any artwork over time. Use UV glass or UV-filtering film.
Silk tapestries are lightweight and mount easily. Options include a rod pocket hem for hanging, custom framing behind UV glass, or a tension frame. We provide installation guidance with every purchase.
Gallery-quality fiber art and original silk paintings appreciate over time. Art investment in a unique, documented work is fundamentally different from decorative reproduction. Provenance documentation — included with every tapestry — is essential for insurance valuation, appraisal, and future resale.
Common questions
A fine art tapestry is an original artwork — painted or woven by hand by a recognized artist, existing as a single unique piece. Decorative wall hangings are typically mass-produced, printed, or woven by machine in large quantities. Malginov's tapestries are original paintings on silk: each exists once, signed, certified, and entered into the artist's archive.
Malginov's tapestries are hand-painted on pure natural silk using professional textile dyes — not woven. This technique produces a depth of color and tonal range impossible in traditional weaving, while preserving the luminosity and drape of the silk itself.
Works are rolled in acid-free tissue, placed in a rigid archival tube, and shipped via fully insured international courier. Delivery to the continental USA typically takes 5–10 business days. Full tracking and insurance are included.
Original works by exhibited, internationally collected artists typically appreciate over time — especially when provenance is documented. Every tapestry ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and provenance paperwork, essential for insurance valuations and future resale.
Yes — the artist accepts a small number of commissions per year for bespoke works. Contact us to discuss dimensions, subject, and palette. Commission timeline is typically 8–16 weeks.
