Description: Born from a unique idea this violin was transformed using canvas, acrylic paints, black hair and yellow feathers. This sculptured painting titled "Flight of the violin" was created to encourage a sense of musical awareness and embody the passionate sound of the violin and its magical influence in the world of music history. The violin can be traced back to the 9th century, with its origin possibly in Asia. Not less than 450 years were required to bring it to its present form. My inspirational roots came from Nikolay Rimsky-KorsakovŐs composition titled "Flight of the bumble bee". So why not a violin in the form of a bumble bee?

The Process: An 1 10th scale violin was used, first the strings were unwound, the violin front was pulled apart by the seam and then canvas was glues to the front surface. then treated. Later the violin was painted, and sealed then hair and feathers were layered and glossed the the surface. The front was glued back on, then the strings were restung and small finishes were then completed.
