So, the finest hour has come for those girls who did not shy away from needlework lessons at school and listened carefully to their mother or grandmother who taught knitting and embroidery to "their clever girl." It is fashionable to embroider and knit nowadays, and not only fashionable, but also profitable, especially if the needlewoman has golden hands and her imagination is in order. So, the other day we talked about how the Japanese artist Miyuki Sakai embroiders illustrations on a sewing machine, and today we will talk about unusual portraitsembroidered by a Colombian artist Zaira Pulido … True, she does not embroider with threads, but … human hair … When Zaire Pulido came up with this idea, she naturally used her own hair to experiment. Fortunately, the artist is the owner of long and beautiful hair. Just like ordinary threads, she passes the hairs through the eye of the needle and embroider on the hoop. "Draws with hair", as the artist herself prefers to call this occupation.
Over time, Zaira Pulido switched from self-portraits to portraits of friends that she paints … that's right, with their own hair. So, the artist turned to them with a request "who can help with what", and provide her with strands of hair for needlework. Those who were not embarrassed by such an unusual request turned out to be the owners of the most unique portraits.
The artist is sure that such portraits are energetically connected with the person depicted in them. Moreover, in a literal, not a figurative sense, since they are created from material with their own DNA. And what could be energetically stronger than that? The process of creating portraits from human hair can be seen in the video, and you can get acquainted with the work of Zaira Pulido on her website.
