AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
**Between Shadow and Gold**
*Técnica mista sobre tela*
50 × 80 cm
"Between Shadow and Gold" is a contemporary work of strong visual impact that explores the tension between obscuration and revelation, fragility and permanence. The composition presents a female face emerging from a complex overlay of fragments of Chinese handmade paper, layers of acrylic paint and applications of fake gold leaf, creating a visual narrative rich in texture and depth.
The figure seems to gradually emerge from darkness, like a memory undergoing reconstruction. The contrasts between the deep black tones and the golden reflections evoke the duality of the human condition: light and shadow, past and present, identity and transformation. The textured surfaces and fragmented elements give the work an almost archaeological dimension, inviting the observer to discover new details with each glance.
Executed entirely by hand, the piece combines collage techniques, painting and relief construction, resulting in a striking physical presence and a dynamic visual experience that varies with the incidence of light.
