Custom Art
Custom artwork is a way of combining artistic vision and skills with personal style to create unique pieces reflecting one's personality, interests, or passions. The custom works are handcrafted with great attention to detail. From clothes and accessories, to decorations, custom works can elevate your style, brighten up your home, or surprise your dear friends and family.
Read below how each item shaped the story of Radart Customs and discover the thought behind different designs.
Custom shoes
The story of Radart Customs began with a pair of shoes which suffered damage. They served the purpose of experimental canvas and the results proved an exciting way of upcycling a product while also incorporating the owner's vision and ideas.
Custom shoes have thus become a core medium for Radart Customs.
Custom denim
Having completed a few custom shoes projects, it was time to delve into new fabrics. Denim jackets offer a larger canvas to generate more complex and visible designs. The stiffness of the fabric offers a great medium for creative expression.
While benefiting from the properties of the denim, jeans also offer a canvas where symmetry can be challenged.
Custom vinyl records
Discovering an old collection of vinyl records collecting dust, my mind immediately saw them as canvas - a way to combine multiple forms of art - maintaining the memory of the retro tunes and adding more artistic layers. The vinyl is transformed not only into an audio, but also a visual masterpiece in harmony with the interiors for which it is designed.
What is also interesting with vinyls is that you can have two artworks in one piece. Shift in the mood? Just turn the record to change the atmosphere.
This design was inspired by Japanese nature, long before I realized my path would lead me to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Leather bags
This is my most recent project, which began at a leather recycling workshop where we designed origami wallets from leftover leather scraps from an old furniture shop. After I went home with a few of the leather scraps I was determined to make use of them to create something beautiful and customizable.
Embroidery
One of my first embroidery pieces was experimental and meant as a gift. I fell in love with this form of art and with the idea of gifting a personalized piece which reflects the personality of the receiver. There are less restrictions unlike clothing where size needs to be considered when gifting an item. I started bringing my embroidery kits along train rides, picnics, cafes, and even some lectures, where handcrafts were allowed.
I discovered different ways to present my work - as a wall piece, framed as a picture, on tote bags, or as a way to customize clothing. Combining painting and embroidery also became a fun way to add depth to the designs.
