Mixing the uncontrollable splashes of watercolor paints with the precision of embroidery art design, artist Nava Lubelski creates invigorating artwork that plays with texture and detail.
Abstract paintings become more intense and stylized when all of the paint splatters are carefully outlined with precisely placed stitches of colorful thread. The fluid wash of color is given structure and dimension with the threads running through, and additional elements, such as nets of webbed string, are incorporated into the canvas as well.
The blending of two different mediums on one canvas, especially ones as different as paint and embroidery art design, is what gives this series of paintings an added layer of interest and excitement that entices viewers to take a closer look.
