Embroiderer and illustrator Lisa Smirnova fuses two types of artistic styles to create one visually compelling textile. The portrait of this tattooed man has an Impressionistic-approach to it, with strands of peach, burnt sienna, and ivory sewn next to one another to imply a three-dimensional form. In addition to this style, Lisa uses bold, graphic elements in the background that allow the fabric to peek through and give us a visual reprieve from the dynamic and directional stitches.

Here’s another lovely project that Lisa completed. It’s a lush, colorful embroidered pillow!
