Expressionist embroidered art by Tamar Tsouk

Tamar Tsouk is a textile artist, working with needles and threads on white canvas. As the artist itself declares, the needle is her paint brush and the threads are her pallete. This means that she is actually a skilled embroidery artist. Her main inspirations are the colorful landscapes, season changes and nature. 

During working process, by Tamar Tsouk.

Her work is characterized by clear shapes and bold colors. Some embroidered pieces seem to illustrate earth landscapes, other natural patterns while other works are abstract compositions.

One of the main features of her work is the thorough selection of colors, which actually gives the embroidered piece its vividness and sheen. The colors are so dramatic, that if it were to classify the work into an artistic movement that would be of the abstract expressionism.
