In preschool and elementary school I had my first encounters with drawing and shapes, and even then my drawings were very small compared to paper."The artist confesses that when he began to be interested in this artistic discipline, Ghetti was the only one who made these sculptures and that, after he was also encouraged, other artists began to do the same.His inspiration ranges from pop art or nature and famous works in the world of architecture, to reproductions of well-known works of art.Although his first pieces were simple, today they are much more complex and require determination.His process begins with a sketch of how it's supposed to look in pencil.Second, he estimates the weak points of the sculpture, the places where it could easily break.Depending on the design he chooses and the type of pencil (round or square), he prepares the appropriate tools (various types of "surgical scalpels") and then gets to work.The carving process is divided into two phases.During the first phase, which lasts between five and ten hours, he tries to get the rough outline of the sculpture that implies what the finished product will look like.Afterwards, he takes a couple of high resolution images to see if he needs any further corrections.The sculptures are approximately 4 mm in diameter and can be between 10 and 20 mm.In the second phase all the fine details are done.This part requires a microscope and can take up to two days, depending on the complexity of the sculpture.As a last step, Jasenko takes a couple of archive photos of him and assigns them a serial number.A process as meticulous as each one of the impressive pieces that he makes.Gifts for the great minorityWith exclusive articles of art, erotica, stimulating and lifestyle.© 2010-2022 Restless Culture Music and arts platform.Do not you have an account yet?Check inIf you already have an account:
