Angelce Miskov--Pyroengravings



Pyrography on Matchsticks!

Macedonian artist Angelce Miskov from Veles in the Republic of Macedonia is 37 years old and has already been working as a pyrographic artist for over 12 years.

At some point, Angelce (pronounced AHN-ghel-chay) decided that he wanted to challenge himself, so he decided to combine matchstick art--a big category of its own--with pyrography. And to give himself the ultimate challenge, he decided that, on matchstick panels, he would do pyrographic works reproducing the paintings and engravings of the amazing, enigmatic Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528).

Although matchsticks and pyrography may be simple in concept, what's difficult to imagine is how much it would take to actually combine matchstick art with pyrographic art. Just think "time consuming" and "exacting" --and 20,000 matches!--and try to contemplate what you are seeing:
