I am a civil engineer by education and have been practicing this profession to this day as my full-time job. However, outside of work imagination has no limits. I have a love for beauty, I consider myself a creative person with a passion for aesthetics and design. So with this and a certain amount of dexterity patchwork is my art of choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2583\">It turns out that I've been doing patchwork since before I knew such a thing existed. I reupholstered my first chair when I was in university in my student dorm. I had two options - to either fix it or throw it away so I decided to cut up two old skirts and sewed a \"damask\" out of them, which I then nailed to the chair. The result was satisfactory for what I needed at the time. Fast forward almost 30 years later, this has become my true passion and something I can proudly say I do very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Where do you find your inspiration when creating cityscapes?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I'm not afraid to experiment, both in my hobby and in life. When I headed to Germany for a new life challenge, I was lucky enough to find myself in the wonderful Allg\u00e4u region with its beautiful nature and small towns with magnificent old buildings and narrow stone streets, which inspired the urban landscapes you can see in my artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/denimupcyclers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau_Baden-Wurttemberg_Germany-RETOUCH-920x690.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Allg\u00e4u, Germany \/ Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isny_im_Allg%C3%A4u#\/media\/File:Cafe_in_Isny_im_Allgau,_Baden-Wurttemberg,_Germany.jpg\">Wikipedia <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like any beginning, this was not easy and for a long time I was careful to pack my luggage into \u201cone suitcase\u201d so that I could easily move. However, my creative needs needed expression, so I bought a regular sewing machine and started making small patchwork items to create coziness in my new small home. In order not to overfill the suitcase, I started using old jeans and other textile materials, given to me by friends or purchased at flea markets, traditionally organized in the area. This is how I discovered denim as a material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why denim? What makes this material so special to you?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Denim is a very durable and easy-to-work with material. The variety of shades of one color creates balance in the whole picture of the artwork and an impressive, nuanced effect. These properties make the fabric a perfect material for both textile painting and upholstery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"\/en\/Derni\u00e8rement, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 captiv\u00e9e par les paysages urbains en denim publi\u00e9s dans notre communaut\u00e9 Facebook.

I believe that the style of the furniture should match the artwork I upholster on them. For example, a painting of an old town corresponds well with an antique armchair with a more baroque feel to it. Thus, in an eclectic style (mixing styles - an antique chair and non-traditional fabric). I like to achieve harmony and maintain balance while not being afraid to play with different styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s your favorite tool when \u201cpainting\u201d with denim?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Based on patchwork and quilting, I have created my own technique for making my textile paintings. I use a regular sewing machine with a straight and zig-zag stitch and the standard patchwork tools - a cutting board, ruler and circular knife.
