‘inimate portraits’ by nike schroeder image © caroline kurze

berlin-based artist nike schroeder has developed ‘intimate portraits’ a new series of embroidered paintings. her unique style crafts human faces, figures, bodies and body parts by applying the use of thread on canvas.  a dynamic perspective is added to her work by incorporating a mixture of paint to merge material and structure to create a sense of realism. her artwork is conceived with natural accuracy and impressive dexterity, bringing the figures alive through personal association.
