AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original Technique: Sculpted Pigmented Concrete
This artwork is created using a personal technique developed by the artist, combining mineral concrete with colors pigments embedded directly into the material.
Unlike traditional surface painting, the colors are part of the very structure of the work. A specific blend of fine concrete, artistic binders, and pigments is worked by hand and then sculpted before fully curing.
The reliefs are then traced and modeled by hand to create a network of three-dimensional lines that traverse the material. This method yields real physical depth, where light catches the volumes and continually reveals new nuances depending on the viewing angle.
Each piece requires numerous steps of layering, pigmentation, and manual sculpture, making any reproduction strictly impossible.
The artist Popléa:
If you own this piece, you hold an authentic work signed Popléa.
But you should know: Popléa is a pseudonym.
The identity has not yet been revealed — voluntarily. This choice is part of a broader artistic project, a form of experiment:
Creating without a name, without status, without biography.
The artwork alone. The image alone. What it evokes. What you feel.
The artist behind Popléa is already exhibited, recognized, collected — but chose to explore another, freer path. To refuse filters, codes, and discourses.
To refuse that the same people—galleries, experts, networks—always decide what has value.
Perhaps what you own marks the beginning of something.
Or perhaps it is simply a work that speaks to you, here and now.
Both options are beautiful.
And in the end, perhaps that is the true luxury.
The piece is hand-signed, ready to be hung, packaged in a 4x4 box with insured shipping included.
Happy bidding
