20 Embroidery Pieces That Blur The Line Between Stitching And Fine Art

Some artists paint with oils or watercolors, but Vera Shimunia paints with thread. Her embroidery pieces burst with color, depth, and texture, often looking more like vivid landscape paintings than stitched fabric. What began as a simple experiment quickly turned into a passion. “I just decided to try. And when I made my first embroidery pattern, the boy I liked, he has great taste and he is in the art community, wrote me: ‘you did this?? So cool’ and I decided to continue,” Shimunia told us in an interview.

It took her about half a year to bring her work to the public. “I started to publish my embroidery experiments on Instagram and people start to write me, ‘can I buy it?’ And I thought, why not,” she said. Now, she carefully plans each new landscape. “I am thinking about future embroidery, I am preparing the necessary materials. Sometimes the picture in my head does not coincide with what I made, then I cut off threads and try again.”

Here are some embroidery pieces by the artist that blur the line between stitching and fine art, showing just how breathtaking thread can be when placed in the hands of a true visionary.
