Loves Doves by Yulia Brodskaya
We saw the work of Yulia Brodskaya before with some of her earlier style of work like Christmas in Wonderland where she incorporates text as well as a scene. Now she is starting to explore a new style entirely where she makes a portrait completely from quilling like her earlier piece Babushka. This being her latest work entitled “Loves Doves” I can only expect them to become more disarming and more beautiful. To see more details of this piece you can view here.

Map Collage of ‘Geronimo’ by Matthew Cusick
‘Geronimo’ happened to be one of my favorite collaged map pieces from from Matthew Cusick. Upon first glance from a distance, I was immediately struck by powerfulness of this piece and then realized upon having a closer look how impeccably detailed it is. As you can see below, Matthew has used various maps and atlases cut and reshaped to form these simply refined portraits which are all created on wood.
