Night flies and abstraction

I've been a bit absent from my little blog here lately, I know! (that is because yepee I'm using my price I won in Italy, my fashion scholarship, remember I had an old post about it, and yep I needed to get comfy with  things here) But now I'm coming back with new posts. 

Here are some textile works I've done in my first year of fashion MA in Timisoara. It was a free choice of themes. Therefore, the first work represents prints of night flies in an abstract composition, with the main colours grey, yellow and white, painted with special textile paints. The second one is a fabrics collage representing a dynamic abstract composition inspired by poppyflowers, with the main colours magenta, grey and purple. Both works have the sizes 2m x 70cm approximately. Hope you enjoy!

Some details:

Both works were present in exhibitions in Timisoara (mansarda), Lugoj and Deva.

Getting purple again...

Remember, I have posted the last months a post called "Into the purple" and another "Winter memories"? Well, the next works I will show you here continue my love for this colour... I had a lot of purple in highschool. Anyway, this next works are two compositions, one was created for a school competition and the other one is the pre drawing project for my embroidery work  which I called earlier "Winter memories". I can't remember the exact dates of when I made this works, it might have been in my tenth of eleventh grade.

Here they are, enjoy!

This is the composition for the school competition, size 50cm x 70cm, watercolours combined with coloured pencils.

The next one is the pre-drawing for the embroidery work Winter memories, size 50cm x 70cm, watercolours combined with coloured pencils.

Baroque - part II

Hey there, here I come with the promised part II of my Baroque post, it comes a bit late but...here it is, hope you'll like it. 

As said in the first post the next two works are part of my highschool graduation project (poster and sketches Baroque - part I), which happened in like 2006...loooong ago. I'm talking about a textile work and a costume inspired by the Baroque era. There you go , hope you enjoy!

 This is the textile work, with the size of 70cm x 100cm. It's a combination of embroidery and material applications and as you can see it represents an abstract composition, my vision of Baroque with focus on the colour red, one of the popular colours of the Baroque era.

Next, you can see my interpretation of the Baroque costume, a two piece costume - a corset and short pants with a big bow at the back and a hanging tail. The materials I used were yellow velvet combined with a goldy ribbon type material and white tulle...and yes I tailored and sew it myself, it was a hard job, but it was the first corset and short pants I ever made myself, and I'm proud of them! :P...even if they're not perfect, good for the theatre though:P, maybe. Ohhh, and also I forgot to tell, the costume comes with shoes too, which are painted in the Baroque style. (Sorry, this are the only pictures I could take of the costume back then in 2006....vintage:P)

Colour Explosion...

Here I come with a new post, a drawing  I made in highschool. Its a composition about two complementary worlds getting connected, being very similar in colours. The big world  is represented by circle shapes more than the one complementary to it. The technique I used is watercolours mixed with chalk pastels. And yep there is a bit of a colour explosion in it, as I used many different colour combinations, from silver to blues, reds, purple and yellow. Don't know which colour is your favourite...I just know I enjoyed creating this little art piece of mine! Hope you like it!

Static vs Dynamic

I'd like to show you some of my compositions I made in my second year of college. It's about three groups of compositions, in form of a circle, a square and triangle. Each of them has a static and a dynamic version. This whole theme of compositions in form of geometrical shapes was based on some symbols like divinity - triangle, the universe - circle and earth - square. For each composition we had to use specific colours (watercolours), red for the square, blue for the circle and yellow for the triangle, each of them we were aloud to mix only with black and white. It was kinda hard to think of a static composition in a square, I found it easier to do a static composition in a circle and triangle and  I came to pretty good results after all, my professor liked them :P. Well, hope you'll find them interesting too, I'm hoping for feedback, thanks and have a peachy day!:D
