To pay tribute to Serbian inventor and electrical
engineering genius Nikola Tesla, artist Phil Hansen recently created a
portrait of him using only electric sparks. A time lapse video of Hansen creating the painting shows
him connecting a couple of wires to a large battery. He then brings the
two naked ends of the wire together to produce sparks. He uses the
sparks to create burn marks of varying darkness on paper, creating the
eyes, nose and other features of Tesla’s face until the mind-blowing
portrait is complete. Hansen wore a protective mask the whole time he was making the picture,
and after zapping away for two whole days, the electrifying picture was
ready.
