An Homage to Gustav Klimt painted fountain pen
ZAR10,000.00 – ZAR13,000.00
Gustav Klimt is Kseniia Nel’s favourite artist and here she has created her interpretation of one of his most famous works, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. In Kseniia’s painting Adele has a more wistful, enigmatic expression, while her clothes and surroundings are as opulent and exotic as the original … the Egyptian-inspired motifs, the flowing fabric, her lustrous cloak, the background, all are dazzling in their gold and striking colours, even her hair glistens with gold dust. Kseniia has also captured porcelain skin, her slender elegant neck. This is an homage to a masterpiece, and a magnificent work of art in its own right.
Lana le Roux mixed a custom colour for the section material that accentuates the indigo blues in Kseniia’s painting, and we have added a bronze cap band, section ring and logo in the finial.

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.
