In the realm of artistry, where imagination meets craftsmanship, there exists a singular creation that defies convention and captivates the soul. Behold “Joker" – a stunning masterpiece crafted from over 33,000 meticulously placed nails and 700 meters of thread, meticulously woven to breathe life and depth into its form.
At first glance, “Joker" appears as a mere playing card, but upon closer inspection, its intricacies unravel like a mystifying puzzle. The image of the Joker, both above and below, emerges with a mesmerizing allure, each nail and thread painstakingly positioned to convey the essence of this enigmatic character.
Every detail of “Joker" speaks to the dedication and skill of its creator, a testament to the boundless possibilities of artistic expression. With each nail hammered and every thread woven, a narrative unfolds, inviting viewers to delve into the realm of imagination and interpretation.
But “Joker" is more than just a work of art – it is a symbol of uniqueness and rarity, with only one in existence, making it a coveted treasure for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Its handmade nature adds a layer of authenticity and charm, reminding us of the human touch behind every stroke and stitch.
As “Joker" stands alone in its splendor, it invites us to ponder the complexities of existence and the interplay of light and shadow within the human psyche. It challenges us to embrace the unconventional, to celebrate the beauty found in the unexpected, and to revel in the sheer wonder of creation.
In a world filled with mass-produced replicas, “Joker" remains a beacon of individuality and artistry, a testament to the limitless possibilities of human ingenuity. With each nail and thread, it beckons us to embark on a journey of discovery, where every glance reveals a new facet of its profound beauty.
“Joker" is not merely a piece of art – it is a masterpiece, a triumph of imagination and craftsmanship that transcends the boundaries of time and space. And as we gaze upon its exquisite form, we are reminded of the enduring power of creativity to inspire, to provoke, and to enchant the soul.

Presentation
Stringometry Art studio was created in 2019 by artist Ben Koracevic after discovering the unusual medium of String Art in a video. Instantly, he was hooked. Always one to find enjoyment in creating and coupled with his vast experience working with various metals, woods, carbon fibre, fibreglass, epoxy resins and fillers, he seized a new challenge to reinvent the world of string art.
This new challenge soon became an obsession that evolved into a love affair over the months that followed. Whilst working a full-time job and completing his Degree in Science in his spare time, Ben somehow found another 30+ hours a week to practice and experiment with different nails and a variety of strings.
Naturally when a passion consumes your life, you want more, so in August of 2019 he made the decision to quit his day job, cash in his life savings and pursue his true calling as an artist. This change empowered him to spend 70+ hours a week in his studio, honing his craft, perfecting techniques and began to create something truly exquisite.
Less than two years later Ben's artwork has been displayed in exhibitions across London and has been received with incredible admiration and respect for the unique nature of his work. Stringometry Art Studio has sold his works across the world in three continents and is committed to support Ben as he pushes the boundaries of this rare art form.
In Ben's words “art is a universal language where the work does all the talking, I hope mine speaks for itself."
