It will not be difficult for an experienced artist to draw a tapestry on canvas. But what the Canadian artist creates Caroline Larsen, it is more than a picture. The girl simply weaves her works from strokes of oil paint, so much so that they really look like tapestries or mats woven from thick multi-colored ribbons or threads. However, the artist herself refrains from giving her works any definition. She says she is trying to find a new niche between painting and decorative arts, for which she experiments with the properties of oil paints, as well as their "friendship" with different textures and surfaces.
By the way, Carolina Larsen draws her three-dimensional "woven" paintings not with strokes, but with stitches, as she herself says. Nobody taught her this, she came to this drawing technique herself, by experience. "It's not me who draws - the soul draws as it sees and feels," the artist likes to repeat. Paint - it is soft and "lively", not at all like a pencil or ink. It is pleasant to watch it, it is pleasant to mix and spread it on the canvas. And when an artist loves his materials, they reciprocate - they lay down the way they need to and behave as expected of them.
Carolina Larsen's "woven" paintings are often shown in modern art galleries in Toronto, where the girl lives and works, and you can see the whole series of works and get acquainted with the creative process on her website.
