Artist: Graham Short
Medium: Micro-Engraving on the Head of a Platinum Pin
Display: Bespoke Wooden Case with Integrated Microscope
In this remarkable feat of miniature engraving, Graham Short has inscribed Ayrton Senna’s iconic words, “fear is exciting for me” alongside a finely detailed depiction of the legendary driver. The entire composition sits on the head of a platinum pin, so small it is invisible to the naked eye and can only be appreciated through the integrated microscope.
Created using ultra‑fine needles and months of meticulous, controlled work, the piece captures both Senna’s fearless spirit and Short’s world‑renowned mastery of micro‑engraving. A rare fusion of motorsport legacy and extraordinary human precision.
