Original artwork description
There are works you simply observe—and others that look back at you. This piece exists in that space where material meets thought, where form becomes meaning.
Positioned between painting and sculpture, it creates a quiet yet striking three-dimensional presence. The soft background tones of white and pink meet the raw weight of two wooden beams, forming a visual tension that holds the gaze.
At the center, a black-and-white ceramic diptych, touched with subtle green hues, depicts hands bound behind the back. More than a depiction, it becomes a symbol—of constraint, yes, but also of resilience and the possibility of release.
The Technique: Alchemy and Slow Time This piece is the result of a refined fusion between photographic memory and physical experimentation. The image is imprinted onto a wooden panel and then transformed through a textural layering of pure earth pigments and metallic oxides. Using egg white as a natural binder—following ancient traditions—and fixed by the power of direct sunlight, the process creates a unique, millenary-like surface. The resulting textures and organic cracks are an integral part of the narrative, marking the passage of time and the artist's dedication.
This is not a decorative object. It has presence. It speaks. It’s made for collectors who choose with intention, who seek artworks that tell a story—and leave a mark.
A powerful addition for those who see collecting as a way to reflect, not just to own.
Complete with certificate of holographic authenticity.
The images, although they represent reality, may differ slightly in colours.
Shipping may incur any duties to be paid by the buyer.
