Artist Recreates Photos by Hand Using a Simple Date Stamp
Artist Federico Pietrella has a clever and impressive way of “printing” his photographs. After selecting one he wants to use, Pietrella recreates it by hand using nothing but a date stamp and ink. Pointillism is usually done with distinct dots, but each of Pietrella’s dots are a short row of numbers indicating the current date.
Once each piece is completed, Pietrella sells them for up to €20,000, or over $25,000!
Here’s a news segment showing how Pietrella goes about creating his works:
