Open exit Painting

Hand embroidery, cotton threads on stretched canvas. Since I can remember, I liked to draw. While I was using my pencils, I noticed that each stroke of color on paper can be a stitch of thread on fabric but with more impact on the eye giving the work a totally new feel and dimension. That’s how I started drawing with threads. Through trial and error, with each work I learned from my mistakes, perfecting my technique. I stretch canvas on rectangular wooden frames to form my blank “piece of paper”. A sketch made with pencil provides the outline of a future work. As I lay the threads, one stitch at the time, the composition takes a life of its own, evolving beyond the original sketch, to morph in a work of intuitive creation. Sometimes, a geometric feel dominates other times I end up with organic, maze like composition. However, color is the driving force of my art. The result it is a unique piece of art that incorporates traditional embroidery technique into a modern visual creation. My hope is that someone will notice my works and connect emotionally with them in my “make believe” happy colorful world. The art work is framed in a contemporary, slim, natural, wood frame and is ready to hang. Other features: Medium & materials: fiber, cotton threads on painter canvas.
