Sunlight Art: Painting With A Magnifying Glass
Featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Sunlight Art
Michael Papadakis uses the largest paintbrush in the world: the sun. In an art form he dubs “heliography,” Papadakis employs a variety of magnifying glasses and reflectors to harness the power of the sun to burn his art into pieces of wood. This sunlight art can be used to make everything from romantic scenes on fence posts to detailed landscapes and cityscapes.
