A green woven frame surrounds this lovely abstract portrait. Each stitch intricately woven to create this piece, shown in close-up photo below. The warmth of the material combined with beautiful, vibrant color combinations gives this an umatched texture and presence. Size: 24 x 32 inches. Vivi does not draw a picture or lines on the embroidery in order to follow the pattern. She visualizes the picture by counting and comparing them square by square. Her color matching is very precise. There is no machine or equipment used to make these tapestries. Vivi has created many other tapestries you can view at http://www.tapestriesbyvivi.com  She has made only one tapestry per design, so they are each one of a kind.

I was exposed to art, design, and handcrafts at an early age. I loved working with yarn and did a lot of knitting and embroidery where I grew up in Oslo, Norway.   One of my favorite artists was always Pablo Picasso. The connection I feel to his work has, years later, here in California, developed into a passion for recreating some of his paintings in my medium of canvas and wool yarn. My challenge is to capture the soul and essence, as well as the likeness and colors of his work, in this unique textile art form using my own technique and style.   I use a variety of stitches to enhance parts of the paintings and make them come alive. My work also includes some reproductions of Henri Matisse’s and Van Gogh's paintings. In addition, I have done some of my own designs, such as cozy cabin themes of horses, roses, and windmills.   I would like to reach collectors who will enjoy these masterpieces transformed into hand-stitched original needlepoints. The works are made of the highest quality Persian wool, stretched over wooden frames, and ready to hang on your wall.  ~Vivi We ship worldwide. See above for shipping cost.
