If you thought old school librarians were the only ones who know how to use an ink date stamp, you need to check this post. Using those very same date stamps and black ink, Berlin-based artist Federico Pietrella paints these incredibly detailed, pointillist-like paintings, where numbers and ink merge together to form larger scenes. In his enormous ink artworks Pietrella always stamps the current date, thus each of his pieces contains a clear timeline of the days he worked on it, often spanning two months. From landscapes to portraits, Pietrella shows immense patience and a strong vision that leads to the successful execution of each complicated painting. Check out the video below to see an interview with Pietrella and see more data stamp pieces on his website. [source]
