Jules Vissers | White wing | hand tufting and embroidery | 140 x 92 cm

Description

In her work Jules tries to express movement – and thus life – through the interaction of colour, form and texture. The fragility of life is a recurring theme in her work. Fragility not intended as a negative aspect but as the magic of our and nature’s existence, a core element that demands respect. In her studio in Florence, Dutch artist Jules Vissers translates an old tradition into modern artworks. Here she designs and creates textile artworks using local high-quality Italian yarns. She combines techniques such as tufting, weaving, embroidery, crochet and passementerie. She graduated cum laude with a Master of Fine Arts in Art Textiles from Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze in 2020.
