Alexandra Kehayoglou comes from a long line of rug makers.

You could consider it a bit of a family trade - her ancestors were Argentina's first rug makers.

Now, Kehayoglou makes her own rugs. Except they're far more like works of art than rugs.

“I grew up surrounded by rugs,” she told Instagram. “I realized that the knowledge of rugs I had was in my genes. Using it as an artist became inevitable."

She uses scraps and spare materials from her family's Buenos Aires factory to make mural-like backdrops that one can't help but get lost in.

"The pieces are big and feel infinite. They are meant to be portals that have the power of taking you where your memories are.”

Not all of Kehayoglou's rugs stretch up walls. But they are all mindblowingly beautiful.

And each one pays its own unique homage to beauty of nature.

"The style that I’ve created is an abstraction of landscapes from my country. I would like everyone that looks at my pieces to feel that they are entering a new context."

While many of her pieces are incredibly cumbersome and take months to make, the talented artist couldn't imagine herself doing anything else.

After all, it is in her blood.
