Monteverde introduces the miracle of reverse
miniature hand-painting inside of their latest
limited edition pens!!
At
the dawn of the 18th century, a new art form
emerged in china. The process was called
inside (reverse) painting. Clear snuff bottles
were hand painted from the inside out, which
yielded some of most prized collectibles that
the world has ever seen. Southern California
based Monteverde™ brings the process to their
latest series of limited edition pens.
Miraculously, these hand-painted gems are
being offered at a fraction of industry standard
pricing. Monteverde’s original art is hand-painted
on the inside of special, hand-made clear
acrylic resins.
The
meticulous work is completely done by hand.
Highly gifted artists take at least 72 hours to
complete each part with a specially designed,
hand-made, hooked paint brush specifically
designed for these pens. Since the
painting is completely done by hand, no two pens
are exactly alike.
Each
pen is considered to be an original masterpiece
and is numbered in sequence. Only 395 of each of
the first 3 designs will be produced. (“the
tiger”, “the great wall”, and “flowers
and birds”) each painting is also sealed from
the inside to protect it from interior
scratches. The parts are hand-assembled
and brilliantly presented in an exclusive gift
box.
The
idea of hand-painting luxury acrylic pens on the
inside so that they are protected on the outside
was completely conceived and brought to life by
Monteverde’s founder and president, Yair
(Jerry) Greenberg. Mr. Greenberg started
to collect inside (reverse) painted snuff
bottles some 20 years ago during his travels
abroad.
From the onset, he tried to apply the
process to acrylic pens. When told that
“it couldn’t be done” he knew that it
“must be done”.
New
ground was eventually broken and the art of
inside (reverse) painted pens was born.
Clear barrels in the pen industry have been
commonly known as “demonstrators” for many
years. These are prized by collectors and cost
many hundreds of dollars. Taking this to the
next level, Monteverde hand polishes the inside
of each barrel is in a very special way and then
roughs it so the paint will adhere to the
acrylic surface. (worldwide patent pending on
the process) Unlike traditional painting
technique where the artist starts with the
background and builds outwards, the inside
(reverse) artist must start with the foreground
first. It takes many years of highly
disciplined training before an artist is allowed
to work on an inside (reverse) painted object.
In the
future, the Monteverde design team will
introduce inside (reverse) painted fountain pens
with 14kt, solid gold nibs. One-of-a-kind,
custom, reverse painted pens will be offered
with any theme, portrait, landscape, or even
corporate logo. In this fast paced world where
speed is king, it is fantastic to know that
there are still artists who create miniature
original masterpieces that can be enjoyed any
time that a pen is needed. Monteverde’s
reverse hand-painted limited edition writing
instruments combine the centuries old art of
inside reverse painting with the latest advances
in pen-making.
Welcome to the future of practical art.
This is what happens when you think from the
inside-out… this is Monteverde® mega™
hand-painted from the inside out…!!
