Eccentric Eastern European Automotive Artist Conjures Classic Car ...

Slovenian artist Miha Furlan has ?been on his game? for many years, creating some of the most?eye catching?automotive art that I have ever seen. ?While his focus is always on cars, it is almost never on the same car twice. ?Everything from vintage racers to current supercars, and even bespoke commissions, have seen the deft tip of Miha?s markers, pencils, pens, and watercolor brushes.

While his vision is not entirely limited, it seems that when it comes down to what he enjoys focusing on is the early to mid 1970s international sports car and open wheel scene. ?Certainly not a bad scene to focus on. ?The 1970s were an interesting time in motor racing history. ?While the performance of many road cars completely disappeared in this period, it seemed that all of that performance simply reappeared in the engine bays of racing cars, and they got more powerful with each passing year.

In addition to producing some of the best racing cars of all time, the 1970s produced some of the best racing drivers of all time as well. ?It was the perfect environment to catch the attention of even young enthusiasts.

From this cross section of Mr. Furlan?s artistic endeavors, it is immediately clear that he is a fan of the history of places like Le Mans, Monaco, and the Sicilian Targa Florio. ?Vintage Formula 1, Can Am, and international sports cars clearly dance around in his dreams, and after viewing his work, they haunt mine.

The artist says this about himself ?My name is Miha Furlan and I am 28 years old. I come from a small town called Ajdov??ina in Slovenia. I have been drawing cars for as long as I can remember.? ?Uh, how do you pronounce that, again?

He goes on to say ?I am self taught and I mostly work with color pencils, but I also use markers, pastels and ink. My styles vary from realism to semi abstract drawings. Of course I?m available for commissions and I am open minded to whatever subject you might request.? ?Whatever work he does, it is sure to be impressive.
