Let me begin this brand new year with this stunning work by Andréia Kiss. Andréia Kiss is an artist based in Portugal. She creates these amazing embroidered animal portraits that will stop anyone in their tracks. She often uses reference images before starting a piece and then proceeds to draw on fabric with pencil.
She draws freehand and then does embroidery to create masterpieces which have moment and personality. Her work caught my attention for its precision and intricacy. The artist uses color palette to embroider her subjects which are in contrast with the background. The owl is "painted" in white and black pops against the beautiful blue backdrop.
For any of the embroidered artwork or enquiry related to her work, she can be contacted through her Instagram profile - atelie_ak.
