Albanian artist Saimir Strati, who holds four Guinness World records so far, works on his fifth attempt, a giant banknote he has labeled the “currency of the soul” dedicated to creators of art. The work measuring 490 cm by 240 cm, contains 300,000 industrial screws and features a portrait of ancient Greek poet Homer in the centre.
Strati, who has made the portrait of Italian Renaissance artist and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci with nails, a horse using toothpicks, a young guitarists with corks and a portrait of late pop star Michael Jackson with paintbrushes to set world records for each of them as the largest in their categories, finished his latest work on November 18.
