An Estonian artist has chosen a very unusual format for her creativity Evelin Kasikovwho currently lives and works in London. She creates portraits - but does not paint them, but embroiders, and in the original CMYK embroidery style. The author also calls this innovative technique the technique of hand printing, and thus a series of portraits was created under the name Portrait project … Initially, Evelina worked in the field of advertising, but then her interests and creative plans changed, and for more than 6 years the girl has been specializing in printing and printing design. Hence the author's style of CMYK embroidery, and a series of typographic cross-stitching, which one to one repeats the printed version of the pages of newspapers, magazines and leaflets. The Portrait Project series combines typography, grid systems with templates, and design method. Evelina Krasikov can be called without exaggeration a virtuoso of cross-stitching.
Each portrait from the Portrait Project series is multi-layered. For each such work, the author prepares a template and uses threads of different colors and different thicknesses to create not only a color drawing, but also add volume and realism to it. If you can talk about it, given the sketchiness of the portraits. But be that as it may, the original image can be easily distinguished in the finished illustration made of colored woolen threads.
Cross-stitch portraits, as well as other works of Evelina, have repeatedly appeared on the pages of such famous print media as The Guardian, The New York Times Magazine, Men’s Health Magazine and many others. You can get acquainted with the work of the talented artist on her website.
