Paola Zanda – Artist style #5

“Paris Without End”, one of the last works of Alberto Giacometti, was a production of lithographs about the visions of Paris as streets, monuments, and café of Montparnasse. This collection of 150 pieces was published in 1969. With my quilt, I reproduce a district of Paris with its typical buildings.

Material:
Colicot cotton dyed in layers with acrylic colours.
Machine quilting with embroidery and sewing threads in cotton.
Wadding.

  1. Very effective stitching which has produced a very interesting piece of work. Fantastic work, well done.

  2. The faded colors of the background are so nice. Your quilting is very well done.

  3. Chantal Guillermet

    The gradient colours of the background fabric are very subtle and highlight the black sketch of the city.
    For untrained eyes the difference with a pencil drawing is hard to see !

  5. A striking, well balanced and beautifully stitched composition. Well done!
