Maria Ruisi - Souffle d’Obsidienne

Obsidian Breath
Artist: Maria Ruisi
Year of creation: 2023
Place of creation: Artist's studio, Riga – Latvia
Description of the work
Obsidian Breath is a large-format contemporary abstract artwork, entirely crafted and hand-sculpted by the artist Maria Ruisi.
This unique piece explores matter as a living language, between mineral density and luminous breathing.
The deep relief, built layer by layer, creates a vibrant surface where light slides, clings, and transforms according to the viewing angle. The sculpted textures reveal a silent, almost telluric energy, evoking the encounter of fire and earth, of shadow and awakening.
The chromatic palette — deep emerald green, volcanic brown, and obsidian black — gives the piece an presence that is at once elegant and powerful. Each shade subtly evolves with the lighting, offering a reading that is always renewed.
The work does not seek to represent: it invites feeling.
It naturally fits into a contemporary interior, a private collection, or an architectural space seeking a strong, expressive, and timeless piece.
