Re-Post Of StudioVox Crew - September 12th, 2016

Because I love this site and love what they do and are doing with spreading the word around of amazing artist in so many forms I am glad to have the opportunity to be able to re-post there daily post that I get from them straight in to my gmail. Lucky me and lucky you since now I am posting them here.

No this is not some lame way for me in skating by and taking it easy in creating new post just for my blog here................ or is it......... OK, maybe a little but really, for at least a couple of weeks now I have been wanting to figure out how to save all the wonderful emails I do get from them on a daily basis and only wish I had been doing it sooner but glad I am doing it now.

So I will probably be posting these past paragraphs for a little bit until I feel it is necessary not to do so and a link to StudioVox's site as you see below.

Paper Paintings Celebrate the Beauty of Old Age

POSTED BY THE STUDIOVOX CREW ON MONDAY, SEP 12, 2016

Using vibrant colored paper, artist Yulia Brodskaya, creates detailed three-dimensional portraits that reflect the nuanced beauty found in old age. The portraits resemble oil and acrylic painting (especially from a distance), but with a textured paper twist.

“I used to say that I was drawing with paper, but I believe with this technique I’ve found a way to paint with paper,” said Brodskaya. “I mix strips of paper as I would mix paints on a palette. These artworks are all about color and the unique, tactile feel that paper strips add to it.”

Each work contains a palette of colors that remain at the center of her focus, this series concentrating on precious jewel tones that also serve as the title for each portrait. Previously Brodskaya had referred to these quilled pieces as drawings, but the more expressionistic her style becomes, the more her work reflects a painterly approach.
