March 6 in the Art Gallery of the Palace of Culture and Art of the Igor Sikorsky KPI opened an exhibition of artist-embroiderer Nina Ivanivna Goncharuk. For the first time, she took a needle in her early childhood. At 12, Nina had already embroidered a picture. The wonderful fabulous world of embroidery has captivated it so much that it was originally a cross, and later with the use of other techniques, they decorated a lot of towels, napkins, sheets, tablecloths, blouses.
Upgrading her skills, she invented her own technique of two- and three-layer embroidery. It uses different seams: stem, loop, rococo, nightingale, French knot and, undoubtedly, smooth. She likes the fluff that for a skillful combination of colors you can transfer the image as it sees the eye. The fusion of colors is achieved by the fact that the stitches are made of different lengths, coming into each other, and the image becomes convex. Sheets are mainly silk threads, apply muline, cotton threads. To enhance the effect, sometimes she uses lurex, sometimes acrylic.
Now Nina Goncharuk holds 247 exhibitions, of which 73 are personal. She received the patent of Ukraine for the invention of the author's technique “Painting with a Needle”.
And during the exhibition in the PCA Picture Gallery, Nina Goncharuk received a diploma of the National Register of Records for the largest number of paintings embroidered in the technique of multilayer volumetric embroidery with a stem seam (pictured).
