Painting with Threads

27 July, 00:00
By Natalka PELYKH The exhibition hall of the European University of Finance, Information Systems, Management, and Business (16 Prospekt Vernadskoho St.) continues to host Larysa Shurman's embroidery display. Exploring her works, you find yourself wondering if what you see is really made of color threads. The artist has a remarkable sense of light, shadows, and colors (every picture uses between 55 and 125 threads). Some of her works took half a year (7-8 hours a day). Yet she is not a professional embroiderer. In fact, she gives driving lessons and needlework is her hobby. It came to her as a revelation. Her younger son was in a road accident and her husband walked out on her. Then she simply took pencil and paper, drew a picture, and then repeated it in needlework. Since then she has always carried canvas and thread in her handbag. It is as though her delicate threads stretch around the globe, for her embroidery has been displayed in Austria, Germany, US, Canada, and China.
