Starry, starry night fountain pen
ZAR8,500.00
Kseniia Nel’s Masters in Fine Art shows in her deep appreciation of Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night. She has captured not only the atmosphere of the famous painting, but also the frenetic energy and vivid brushstrokes that defined the Dutch genius’s later work. Even in the darkness of the trees in the foreground, Kseniia has managed to include distinct brushstrokes, as well as a sense of the internal darkness he may have been feeling as this was the view from Van Gogh’s room in the mental asylum where he was living in at the time.
But not only that … she has gone further and highlighted elements of the painting in an invisible ink that is only visible under ultraviolet light. The effect is magical! She has provided a small UV torch which will be shipped with this pen.
Lana le Roux mixed a custom colour resin for the section material and we have added a silver cap band, section ring and logo in the finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.
The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
