Meet Arun Kumar Bajaj, the world’s only sewing machine artist.
The Stunning Artworks of “Needle Man”, the World’s Only Sewing Machine Painter. Have you ever heard or thought about Thread Painting? This is the unique talent of the world-famous artist Arun Kumar Bajaj. He is the world’s only sewing machine artist who is creating masterpieces with his talent.
Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill – he can paint with a sewing machine. Technically, it’s embroidering, not painting, but his artworks are so incredibly detailed that they could pass as hyper-realistic paintings to the untrained eye. And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes it that much more impressive. Arun was really good at drawing and painting growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father’s sudden death, 15 years ago, foiled his plans and forced him to abandon school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor and he became one too, but he didn’t let the artist in him die. Instead, he started “painting” with needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual embroidering tool – the sewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the world’s only sewing machine artist.
