Turkish artist Deniz Sagdych (Deniz Sağdıç) creates amazingly detailed portraits of denim pieces using all existing shades to emphasize the smallest details.
Deniz has always avoided traditional art by starting experimenting with all kinds of funds in the project, which she called "Ready-converted" ("READY-REMADE").
She worked with all sorts of familiar subjects that people use in everyday life, such as old coins, encyclopedias, cassette cases and others. It was then that she realized that the art created from the usual materials attracts people much more. So she stopped on denim.
The artist tries not to waste any detail: she has pictures, to create which she used only the belt of jeans or pieces of fabric around the buttons.
At first, Denise Sagdych used jeans bought in second-handers or taken from their own wardrobe, but as the project develops, it contacted the Turkish manufacturer of jeans, and they were happy to cooperate with her, providing all the necessary raw materials. Today she has several such partners, so a lack of a Turkish artist is not tested.
Getting Started by the next work, Denise chooses an image that wants to reproduce, prints it in a large format and begins to pick up a suitable denim tone. The artist from Turkey has developed 8 different techniques for creating denim portraits, such as spiral equipment or cutting techniques, so the last step is to decide which technique to choose.
Denise Sagdych works around 16 hours a day, sometimes leaving the workshop at 2 am. For the creation of denim portraits, she can leave 2 days to a month, depending on the size and complexity.
