Kivensajibb‘s job is absolutely stunning and even though the greatness of his wool art can be only appreciated by staring at it personally, here we want to share with you some of his creations as well as a short interview that he conceded to us.

Mishës: For start let me say that I really admire your work with wool, not just because I’ve never seen another person working this technique but also because the high level that you display in each one of your pieces.

Now after all this @ss kissing, tell as a little bit about you, who is Kivensajibb Moreno?.

Kiven: Kivensajibb is a graphic designer that has always been interested on doing something different, not just different things but something that can actually put him aside from the rest.

Mishës: And indeed you have nailed that … your wool work is definitely one of a kind.

Kiven: Thanks, the technique has always been unique on its own kind as it was developed by my ancestors, I just want to approach it on a different way.

Mishës: And how did you choose wool as a way of expression?.



Kiven: Well, before I started studying graphic design, I employed wool for making decorative works as a way for making some extra cash, it was during that period that I began to study painting and drawing with a tutor during the weekends. I must say that I did not lasted long in this painting stuff, though the idea of start using wool to create a new technique came to me after this, and it was after I finished my first creation that I realized that it actually worked, I was so happy with the results that even after all these years I’m still doing wool artworks.

Mishës: Making a regular painting using oils, pencils or digital mediums is already difficult, so how is it possible for you to do these things using wool?.

Kiven: Basically I stick to the same drawing and painting concepts, so all I do is not to think of wool as a stain over the paper because even a tiny speck can become part of the design, unlike other techniques, the colors are not mixed as you’re usually taught in traditional painting, e.g if I want to get a color similar to human skin, then I use white wool as base and then I grab different tones of crushed wool until I reach the color I need.

Mishës: Oh man, that seems kind of tangled, can you tell us what’s your step by step process when you start a new artwork?.

Kiven: Well first of all, I extend the sketch to a 1:1 proportion, then I begin to place the wool by starting with the contours, after that, I begin to fill the empty spaces as if you were working with plain colors. Once it’s ready, I begin to scatter the crushed wool atop the plain colors, this helps me add volume while at the same time I begin to reach the tones I want in every space, finally, I grab some tiny wool pieces and I put them one behind another as if they were dots, this trick helps me add some shape to the details.

Mishës: That’s awesome … I hope you can show us later a complete step by step of one of your artworks, thank you so much for your time, is there anything else you want to say to our fans?.

Kiven: Of course I will, thanks to you for contacting me and I’ll be following all your articles.
