Ukranian born artist, Dmitriy Khristenko moved to America several years ago.
He's a self employed handyman and a unique artist. He makes small intricate
replicas of motorcycles and other vehicles from broken watch parts.
He gets old or broken watches from the market, or car boot sales and carefully breaks the watches. With the help of a grindstone he gets the perfect shape and size he wants and glues each of the components by hand. His more complicated motorcycles take him up to 50 hours while the simpler designs take up to 30 hours to make. Forty year old Khristenko has been following his passion making over 40 models with no intention of stopping. 'I think people are fascinated by them', says Khristenko. Motorcycles and other vehicles with complex designs created by Kristenko sell for more than $300 each! |
