STUNNING
HAND-DECORATED
VIOLINS
G'day folks,
Few man-made objects are as graceful and
elegant as classic string instruments like the cello or the violin.
These statuesque instruments are just as pleasing to the eye as they are
to the ear, but this Italian artist found a way to render them even
more precious and beautiful. Leonardo Frigo is a talented artist from
Italy, who creates illustrations with deep meaning on string
instruments. Admire his works and learn more about the artist’s craft
below as I showcase stunning artworks by the artist.
After learning how to restore violins and
other instruments without harming the instrument’s sound and longevity
at an art university in Venice for five years, Leonardo Frigo started
experimenting with the embellishment of these precious instruments.

Over time, he perfected this unique
technique and started decorating violins and cellos with narrative
designs, quotes, and other decorative elements, turning the musical
instruments into legitimate storybooks.

Understandably, each of his projects takes
up to a month to complete, as the process requires mapping out the
illustrations, removing the varnish, decorating the instrument, and then
revarnishing and reattaching the strings.
