Chilean mixed media artist Jose Romussi, is making music taking beautiful vintage photographs and embroidering with color. These elegant dancers are embroidered with colorful thread re-evoking their frozen movements with fun and whimsy. There is strength in the poses alone, however, the embroidery catches our eye and brings us in to take a closer look.
When Photoshop becomes the tool of most modern mixed artists, Romussi takes a different approach taking on the patience art of embroidery -- why not take the time to appreciate it? The strong linear threads infuse seamlessly emphasizing the lines of dancers who have long stopped dancing. Though there is not much information about the artist, Jose Romussi, what is certain is that he has an eye for color and the ability to thread new life.
