Lithuanian artist decorates old metal objects with embroidery

Lithuanian artist Severija Incirauskaitė-Kryaunevicienė is one of the creative individuals who uses the technique of cross stitch on metal objects.

Standard floral and decorative designs come to life on old metal objects under her expert guidance. Plates, bowls, spoons and ladles, as well as even car doors and building walls become canvases for the work of the Lithuanian artist.

At first glance it may seem that embroidery on metal is an unusual choice, but in the workshops of Incirauskaite-Kriaunieviciene this process turns into an amazing combination of tradition and modernity.

One of the interesting aspects of the artist’s work is the use of cross stitch as a technique that, on the one hand, is associated with the past as an archaic method of manual labor, and on the other hand, demonstrates amazing adaptation in the digital era. The resolution of Inchirauskaite-Kryaunevicie’s works is not comparable to a digital pixel image. Each cross is a pixel that, when viewed together, forms a stunning image.

This unique combination of traditional and contemporary art allows the viewer to experience a dialogue between times and cultures. Embroidery on metal becomes a symbol of modern technology and timeless handcraft. And here we should not forget that Severia gives the old evenings a second life. Art can thrive in any environment, even on the most unusual surfaces.
