Polish Engineer Creates Miniature Solar Powered Pieces of Art

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Szymon (Simon) Klimek, an engineer from Poland has created a line of extraordinary and elegant pieces of miniature metallic architecture, that are believe it or not powered by solar energy. All his creations are made entirely from thin sheet brass. The components of these beautiful and incredibly creative works of art custom made and involves fabrication of smaller parts, that are then glued together to create the entire piece.

Mr. Klimek was born in Poland in the year 1954 into a family with a background in arts. He went on to attain a Masters of Sciences (Engineering) degree and has ever since dedicated his life in designing and developing extremely unique pieces of art. In the year 2004, after realizing his artistic potential, Szymon Klimek decided to invent a locomotive with a coal engine in the year 2004 and further decided to keep the dimensions of his new invention to not more than 80 mm.

Ever since his dedicated interest in these miniaturized pieces of art, Mr. Klimek has created more than 100 of such magnificent pieces of art. So far he has created scaled models of various objects such as gift boxes with floral motifs, cars, stationary steam engines and locomotives.

So far, this awesome artist from Poland has not set any dedicated measurements for his miniaturized pieces of art and he states that, the most complicated step in creating his artistic marvels is the time when he begins his project on the drawing boards.
