These hand painted violins are the works of Leonardo Frigo.  The London-based artist and violinist has been painting string instruments for nearly a decade.  He studied the violin for five years and obtained a degree in Art Restoration from UIA (Univeristà Internazionale dell Arte ) in Venice, Italy.  He is inspired by historical literature and creates the illustrations with a fountain pen and handmade ink. He has also applied his art on chess sets and skateboards.

You can view more of his work on his website and Instagram.
