“A giant version of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous sketch ‘Vitruvian Man’ depicted melting from the sea ice into the Arctic Ocean has been constructed just 800 kilometres from the North Pole, as a call for urgent action on climate change. Greenpeace-commissioned artist John Quigley, travelling on board the Arctic Sunrise, made the massive ‘Melting Vitruvian Man’ — the size of four Olympic-sized swimming pools — to draw attention to how climate change is causing the rapid melting of sea ice to outstrip predictions.

“52-year-old Gülpen, who describes his creation as a ‘high-tech work of art’ said he wanted to create something unique that has never been done before. A former mechanical engineer, Gülpen started making miniature car models from precious metals in the late 1990s and eventually became a renown miniature car model maker. He decided the cutting edge Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 would be the perfect choice for his greatest masterpiece.
