Singaporean artist Izziyana Suhaimi embroiders over her own pencil and watercolor drawings to create these intriguing pieces. With just the perfect amount of colorful needlework on the traditional drawings, Suhaimi’s work is exquisite yet still understated.
From Suhaimi’s website: “I am interested in collapsing the boundaries between traditional and popular cultures and exploring the links that exist between these two. My work examines how this particular mishmash manifests itself in modern times, especially concerning modern youths. Preferring to work with craft-based techniques, I am attracted to the evidence of the hand and its time-consuming aspect, which runs counter to the instant gratification and mass-production centred age of today.”
