Dark backgrounds dramatize colorful portraits of quilled paper by Yulia Brodskaya. “It rarely even crossed my mind that I should choose any colour other than white. White allows all wonderful colour reflections blended inter-reflections from paper strips to be visible and showcased at their fullest potential.” Paper-based works in progress, dark backgrounds dramatize colorful portraits of quilled paper.

In recent months, though, the United Kingdom-based artist has started to utilize dark canvases. Which poses new challenges as some of her standard techniques. Like composing portraits with thin strips, don’t translate well. “Black color is dense, dominating. It absorbs all reflections and most of the shadows; only top edges of paper strips are left to see.”

Instead, has focused on thicker rolls and larger bends to create necessary contrast. Many of the vibrant portraits feature larger, three-dimensional swaths similar to brushstrokes. A nod to the artist’s method of “painting with paper,” that help to highlight distinct features. “I chose to leave plenty of empty [dark] space and blend colored parts to gradually transition them into black nothingness. So the background plays a crucial role in these new artworks.” Paper-based works in progress, dark backgrounds dramatize colorful portraits of quilled paper.
