About

Steelfie is an initiative by sculptor Gerrit van Emous, based in Holland. Having 20 years of experience in sculpting with different materials, but mainly steel, he wanted to find a more personalized approach to his sculptures. The first Steelfie was born by using a picture of himself to create a self-portrait made solely out of steel, with the tools he had in his shed. He started perfecting his craft by creating similar portraits for his relatives and close friends. Using the unique features of each person’s face to emit a sense of familiarity presented in a minimal, yet complete portrait. A Steelfie is created with ultimate care and precision, offering you a hand-made product of high quality that can last forever.
