Un ritratto to pay tribute to Nikola Tesla. The artist has just created it Phil Hansen, using only electric sparks. Hansen likes to bring his works to life in the most unusual ways. And how else to dedicate a portrait to the legendary scientist who dedicated himself to electricity if not using electricity itself?
Hansen set himself the goal of making the portrait using the electricity obtained from the car battery. The task was certainly not easy, but the result turned out to be more than dignified. The new portrait of Tesla seems to recall the works of pointillism, in which the paintings are made with thousands of dots next to each other.
The portrait creation process was filmed and is visible in a video. Phil Hansen has followed his passion for art for many years and created amazing images. On his website we find very complex graphic installations. For example, Hansen made a portrait of Bruce Lee by creating splashes of color on a wall with hand movements.
Il time-lapse video shows the connection of some cables to a battery. The two ends of the cables are joined to produce sparks. Here the sparks are used to cause burns on the paper. And so, as in a disdain, Tesla's eyes, nose, hair and other facial features are obtained, continuing until the portrait is complete.
Thus he gave birth to a new form of modern art in honor of Tesla, author of one of the 5 greatest forgotten inventions in the world. The engineer of Serbian origin, but naturalized from the United States, between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries experimented above all in the field of electromagnetism.
He found a way to get free energy exploiting the electric currents provided by the Earth. His theoretical work laid the foundations of the modern alternating current electrical system, but during his lifetime he was probably a misunderstood genius. We thank the artist for the homage to the inventor - or rather, discoverer - who in his life was able to follow a revolutionary path.
