American artist Cayce Zavaglia his creativity blurs the boundaries between tapestry and painting, and offers this word a new definition. Despite the fact that the artist draws with threads, and uses a needle and cloth instead of a brush and canvas, her portraits look like they were painted in oil. The girl practiced for a long time, developing her own style and her own innovative system " thread drawing", but in the end, her embroidered portraits can be called true masterpieces of contemporary art." I still consider myself an artist, and it's hard for me not to talk about these embroidered portraits as "paintings". Although the technique of performing the work is still embroidery, and you can't argue with that, "Casey says about her work. True, her" painting with threads "is much more complicated than ordinary painting: she can't mix colors by hand. mistakes, and gradually Casey created her own system of overlapping stitches, which ultimately give a certain color or the desired shade. Thus, portraits drawn with thread became softer, and from afar they look like oil paintings.
One of the secrets of such an unusual painting is that Casey puts stitches on the fabric in the same way as invisible facial lines are located on the face. And the way an artist puts paint strokes on the canvas. This allows portraits to look natural and natural, almost lifelike. Someone will probably remember portraits embroidered with a cross, but the paintings that Casey creates are much more complex and large-scale, because she tries not only to embroider a drawing, but also to imitate the painting, which she turns out to be simply amazing.
Perhaps Casey Zavalya did not want to be an artist, but really, her work does not give her the opportunity to position herself differently. These and other works of the talented craftswoman can be seen on her website.
