I Spent 350+ Hours Embroidering This Self-Portrait Of Van Gogh

ADVERTISEMENT

I am an Istanbul-based designer and illustrator. I graduated from stage and costume design. So it is, actually, my main job – designing in tv series, commercials and movies. Working in this profession gives you many different points of view, knowledge and ability, which gives me great perspective and directs me to different art branches.

I usually embroider my own illustrations but I wanted to try to do a replica of a masterpiece which I love. This is one of my works, a replica of Van Gogh’s self-portrait. It is 17 inches wide and took me more than 350 hours.

You must truly love Van Gogh to have invested 350 hours - and it shows! The extraordinary detail is apparent especially in his eyes. I don't know how you did it... but you achieved a masterpiece as well. I hope you don't mind... but I'm going to share your work on my FB webpage. Thank you for sharing with Bored Panda!
