Renato Dib – Air Embroidery, Installation (2015)



Brazilian artist Renato Dib creates exquisite adaptations of the human form using velvet, silk, and other materials. The intimacy of the human form serves as an endless source of inspiration in his work. 

When he started to paint he  soon noticed the tactile sense of fabrics. The canvas was not anymore just a surface to be painted, but some kind of representation of the skin.
In an interview with www.textileartist.org he explaines that his mother, a seamstress, inspired him to work with textiles. When he was 21, he went to college to get an education in fine arts in São Paulo. At the same time, he went to the studio of Leda Catunda (textile artist) to help him think about his work. He never went to sewing, embroidery or tricot classes; every technique he uses was self-taught
