String art. Portraits made with threads and nails

12/02/2026

In 2025, one of my oldest dreams finally came true.
I saw Linkin Park live.

Their music has been with me through my brightest and darkest moments.
I started drawing after watching Numb.
I found string art after Chester passed away.

For years, I blamed myself for never seeing them before. I thought I had missed my chance.
But the truth is, some things are simply out of our control.

When said, “It’s good to see you again,” I knew I wouldn’t let this moment pass.

This couple stood right in front of me the whole show.
And I was happy with them.
Cried with them.
Sang with them.
Screamed with them.

The whole stadium felt like one heart.
So I painted this postcard in oils for my future self, to capture this feeling.

Many people are revisiting their 2016 lately.
Maybe one day I’ll share my works from that time too.

Today I want to look back at a piece from 2018, the work that started my journey with nails and threads, and its remake I created in 2023.

In 2018, I was deeply shaken by the loss of Chester Bennington.
That pain, that scream, found its way into this portrait.

By 2023, I was a different person. But Linkin Park still hold a place in my heart.
With more experience, I reworked the piece, introduced colored threads, and made it brighter, both visually and emotionally.

Which version resonates with you more?

This is how I’ve made a portrait of Ozzy Osbourne out of nails and thread!

No soft or algorithms were used, only pure passion and patience.

Let me know if you want a unique portrait from me!

There’s something magnetic about Ozzy.
His chaos, his honesty, his contradictions.
Trying to capture a man who never cared about perfection, only truth and madness.
No software, no algorithms, just thousands of chaotic threads crossing each other.

Portrait of Chester Bennington.
Made back in 2019, when I had just started my path. Young, naive and believing everything was within reach. My head was overwhelmed with ideas and the future felt limitless. I took too many things for granted.

I only wanted to be part of something…but in the end it doesn’t even matter.

If you’ve read this please let me know if you want me to make portrait of Emily!
