An intimate tribute to a tormented genius — rendered in 933 solid brass nails, each placed by hand on deep black acrylic glass.
This self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh is built without paint or print. From afar, his iconic profile appears as a quiet presence. Step closer, and it dissolves into golden rhythm — each brass nail a silent echo of his brilliance and struggle.
The brass material reflects a warm, evolving glow. Over time, a natural patina will form, giving the piece a living surface — changing, deepening, just like Van Gogh’s enduring legacy.
Framed in a matte black float frame with a brushed gold edge and signed on the reverse, The Golden Mind of Van Gogh reimagines one of art’s most recognizable figures through industrial minimalism and meditative precision.
This piece is part of a limited edition of 5, each handcrafted and signed.
