POPLEA - - RAINBOW IV— by POPLEA (2000)

Original Technique: Sculpted Pigmented Concrete
This work is created using a personal technique developed by the artist, combining mineral concrete with color pigments integrated directly into the material.
Unlike traditional surface painting, the colors are an integral part of the very structure of the artwork. A specific blend of fine concrete, artistic binders, and pigments is manually worked and then sculpted before it fully cures.
The reliefs are then traced and modeled by hand to create a network of three-dimensional lines that traverse the matter. This method achieves a genuine physical depth, where light catches the volumes and continually reveals new shades depending on the viewing angle.
Each piece requires numerous steps of layering, pigmentation, and manual sculpting, making any reproduction strictly impossible.

The artist Popléa:
If you own this work, you hold an authentic piece signed by Popléa.
But you should know: Popléa is a pseudonym.
He or she has not yet revealed their identity — intentionally. This choice is part of a broader artistic project, a form of experiment:
Create without a name, without status, without biography.
The work alone. The image alone. What it evokes. What you feel.
The artist behind Popléa is already exhibited, recognized, collected — but wished to explore another path, freer. To refuse filters, codes, discourses.
To refuse that it always be the same people — galleries, experts, networks — who decide what has value.
Perhaps what you own is 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 work is hand-signed, ready to be hung, delivered in 4x4 packaging with insurance included.
