AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Introducing “Frank Sinatra in Black Steel”
A timeless and elegant portrait of Frank Sinatra, the voice of style, confidence and pure charisma.
No paint, no print, no ink. His image emerges purely through structure, shadow and rhythm. From a distance the presence is unmistakable, smooth and commanding. Up close the work dissolves into abstraction, each blackened steel nail forming part of a sculptural harmony between light and form.
Hardened steel meets pristine white acrylic glass, a dialogue between strength and sophistication. The deep matte tone of the black steel captures Sinatra’s aura — poised, effortless and magnetic.
As the light changes the portrait comes alive. From the side it gains sculptural depth, from the front his gaze returns, timeless and confident.
This piece is part of the second collection of Art with Nails by Tijs Dragtsma, realized in a strictly limited edition of ten. Each artwork is slightly unique but always part of the same vision.
Framed in a handmade Dutch float frame in matte black wood, signed and numbered on the reverse, this work stands as both homage and reinvention. A contemporary tribute to one of the most iconic voices of the twentieth century.
About the Artist, Tijs Dragtsma
Part of the Art with Nails series by Tijs Dragtsma, this work is created with a self-developed technique that transforms classic nail art into a bold modern context. By focusing on pure materials and the interplay of strength and fragility, Dragtsma reimagines timeless icons with powerful presence.
