Art Made of Nails

DaVinci Portrait

Artists help make the world a more beautiful place. Innovative artists can do this using about any medium - paint and canvas, chalk and blacktop, and in this case, nails and wooden boards. The artist pictured here creates his masterpieces by pounding nails into a board at varying depths to recreate well-known paintings. The contrast of heights produces shadow and a dull shimmering work of art.
