‘Pen Collector 1’ by Mattias Adolfsson is a work that showcases a series of meticulously decorated fountain pens. Each pen is adorned with a unique design, fusing architectural and ornamental elements with an astonishing level of detail. The motifs on the pens vary from human and animal figures to complex geometric patterns and narrative scenes.

As Mattias mentioned in a lecture: ‘I get asked a lot of questions about the feather I use, so I tend to do a lot of feather drawings instead of answering the question. Because a lot of people think there is something magical about the pen.’

This illustration will fascinate you if you appreciate detailed craftsmanship and the combination of the functional with the artistic.
