"The silent dialogue between the observer and the reflected image."

In this work, the concept of the 'mirror' is explored as a portal to the subconscious. A face emerges from a dense, textured darkness, partially veiled by the alchemical reactions of pigments and time. It is not a clear reflection, but a fragmented memory, where the gaze becomes the bridge between reality and the invisible. The interplay of deep blues, ochres, and shadows creates an atmosphere of profound introspection, turning the portrait into a mirror where every viewer can find a piece of their own hidden truth.

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.

Complete with certificate of holographic authenticity.
