Description from the seller
The work is executed on high-thickness cotton paper, chosen for its ability to embrace and enhance material interventions and experimental processes. The background is treated with a marbling in the tones of black and gold, which creates depth and shifting reflections, evoking a dimension that is at once elegant and mysterious.
At the center of the composition unfolds a collage of papers, on which emerges the depiction of a flower – or sprout – realized in gold leaf and delicately outlined with oil paint. This image, essential and luminous, stands as a symbol of birth, transformation and potential.
The work acquires further value in its realization process: the central form is not entirely constructed in a direct manner, but surfaces through a crystallization phenomenon obtained with alum stone during the drying of the paper. This procedure endows the image with an unpredictable and almost revealed character, enhancing its symbolic aura and sense of discovery.
The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and is shipped in protective rigid packaging.
