Ezgi Pamir's intricate threaded portraits of windswept women that float off the canvas

Turkish creative Ezgi Pamir's latest threaded artworks – featured previously – tend to sweep off the canvas, as though her female characters are being swept away by the wind.

Written By:
Embroidered portrait of a woman with long black hair flowing to the side, her face rendered in white and peachy thread with red lips and defined features, against a cream fabric background

Although Ezgi tends to specialise in 3D hoop art of people, she also experiments with stitched illustrations of birds and animals. More recently, she crafted an embroidered version of Van Gogh's Self Portrait.

A stage and costume designer based in Istanbul, Ezgi also prides herself as a freelance illustrator and creates these embroidered illustrations during her spare time. Follow Ezgi on Instagram or check out her latest work on Behance.
