Description
A classical icon, reimagined – built from 1290 individually placed black steel nails on white acrylic glass.
Inspired by Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl earring, this portrait is created entirely without paint or print.
From a distance, her silhouette is isntantly recognizable – graceful, poised. But step closer, and the image dissolves inti a hypnotic field of texture, shadow, and rhythm.
It is not drawn, but constructed – a meditation in metal, patience and precision.
Mounted on matte white acrylic glass and framed in a matte black wooden float frame, the Naul and the Pearl fuses classical elegance with sculptural minimalism.
A timeless work – delicate in subject, powerful in form
