The Albin Grau Ed Wall Plaque

“The Origin of Nosferatu” - The Albin Grau Edition Wall Plaque

Among the darkest figures in the entire history of cinema, Nosferatu stands as one who has transcended generations, preserving his allure and aura of mystery so much so that he continues to reappear on screens around the world.

In this second project by Sensitive Art Studio, the investigation once again delves into the origins of a myth in search of “the essence of creation”, the spark that ignited the birth of a timeless work of art.

This time, the focus goes beyond the film, beyond the actor or the director, to pay tribute to the man who inspired it: an important occultist, as well as an illustrator, graphic artist, painter, and set designer, whose vision shaped the 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. Albin Grau embodies the true origins of Nosferatu.

This wall plaque, dedicated to Nosferatu as designed by Albin Grau, is a high-relief transposition of the illustration he created to present the 1922 film, an image that gave rise to the iconic makeup still considered a classic in cinema today. Crafted in hi-quality resin and painted with exceptional mastery, particularly in its nuanced use of light through the theory of shadows, this piece stands as a genuine small-scale masterpiece of dimensional, sculptural, and decorative art.
