The famous drawing that came from the hand of the Italian Renaissance genius, although commonly known by its abbreviated title, was originally called: 'Proportions of the human body according to Vitruvius'. The engraving, which has seen many reflections in contemporary pop culture, was created as an illustration for a treatise by the ancient architect. Vitruvius described the proportions of the human body, defining the silhouette of the classical architectural order.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
