Description from the seller
Contained Darkness · N38
Description (EN)
Contained Darkness explores the silent tension between concealment and revelation. A deep, matte black upper field absorbs light and emotion, functioning as a space of restraint, while a horizontal golden band emerges below as a latent energetic stratum.
Gold is not used as decoration, but as living matter—irregular, eroded, and textured—suggesting a mineral horizon or a line of internal pressure supporting the weight of darkness above. The composition conveys balance, gravity, and silence, inviting slow contemplation where light does not break through, but remains contained.
Depending on the lighting conditions of its environment, the golden nuances and black transitions may subtly shift, offering a different perception in each space.
It is recommended that the artwork be unpacked by a professional or artisan to prevent damage to the textured surface.

• Dimensions: 80 × 2 × 60 cm
• Dominant colors: Matte black and gold
• Finish: Textured, subtle relief
• Original artwork, handmade
• Hand-signed by the artist (front and back)

Contained Darkness · N38
Description (ES)
Contained Darkness is a work that explores the silent tension between what is hidden and what is revealed. An upper field of matte black, deep and absorbing, acts as a space of emotional and mental containment, while a horizontal gold band emerges in the lower area as a layer of latent energy.
The gold is not presented as ornament, but as living matter: irregular, eroded and textured, evoking a mineral horizon or an internal pressure line that bears the weight of darkness. The composition conveys balance, gravity and silence, inviting a slow contemplation where light does not burst in, but remains contained.
Depending on the lighting in the space where the work is placed, the nuances of the gold and the transitions to black may vary subtly, yielding a distinct perception in each environment.
It is recommended that the piece be unwrapped by a professional or craftsman to prevent damage to the textured surface.
