AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bloom Despite is a material work that investigates the relationship between fragility and resilience, between what is hidden and what continues to live beneath the surface. The red flowers, hand-painted by the artist on paper and subsequently cut out and reassembled into collages on board, emerge from a clear, translucent layer that veils and holds them.
The surface is created by applying massage-table paper, fixed and molded with rabbit glue until an effect of skin, cracks, and transparency is achieved. This material layer becomes an emotional membrane that hides and at the same time reveals, transforming the technique into an integral part of the meaning of the work.
The contrast between the vivid red of the roses and the cold, silent background creates a visual and emotional tension that recalls the theme of hidden truths beneath the surface and of beauty that endures despite the constraints.
A unique, intense, and poetic work that combines painting and collage in a contemporary, emotionally powerful exploration, ideal for collectors who appreciate material-focused and expressionist art.
The work comes with a certificate of authenticity.
