Diptych Sillage (Single Panel) (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Kseniia Turik

There is a moment when something has just passed — a body through water, a thought across silence — and what remains is only its trace. I called this work Sillage because that is what it holds: the wake itself, made visible. Copper rivers descend through deep petrol shadow, leaving pearl-white residue along their edges, as if memory could be sculpted in mineral form. The longer you look, the more the surface stops feeling painted and starts feeling geological — something formed slowly, by pressure and time.
This is one panel of a vertical diptych originally presented at Grand Palais, Paris, in 2026. Each panel stands as a complete work and can be acquired independently of its pair. I built the surface in three stages: first the dark resin pour creating the depth of background, then heavy copper pigment combined with mineral paste forming the vertical trails in raised relief, and finally a clear lacquer layer that seals the texture beneath glass-like clarity. The dominant palette moves between anthracite, petrol grey, burnt copper, dark bronze and pearl white. Painted on premium gallery canvas, edges finished, signed on the reverse, wired and ready to hang. Certificate of Authenticity included.
