Sobre el Artista


Years ago I discovered the amazing world of cross stitch pictures. Ever since then I devoted myself to this art media. I love creating pictures with a needle and a thread and designing my own patterns. Walking among the streets I get inspired by the street lamps and the lanterns with their lights, beauty, elegance, and a bit of mystery. They add to the charm of the cities with their grace and stylishness. They symbolize the hopes - the light can always be found during dark times. It’s a challenge for me to present the light and the dark during the day and the night. I am interested in how the photos are translated into cross stitch. It is magical to see them converted into another medium.
