Yoi Ioy (YOIIOY) - Copper

Abstract copper and emerald green square frame, 100 cm x 100 cm x 2 cm, made with textile embroidery at the base of the canvas and then acrylic painting with a glossy finish.

This painting is a contemporary abstract artwork that plays on the contrast between tactile textures and metallic colors. The piece presents a composition dominated by vertical dynamism:
Color and Texture: The surface features a warm copper or bronze background, on which broad areas of emerald green and turquoise have been laid. Patina Effect: The chromatic combination recalls the natural oxidation of copper (verdigris), creating a “lived” and industrial feel.
Technique: The work appears rich in materiality, with evident scratches or vertical grooves running across the entire canvas, suggesting the use of spatulas or rigid tools to remove or spread the color. The base texture was created by weaving a fabric with vertical threads. The style evokes Abstract Expressionism, with a strong emphasis on the artist’s gesture and the physicality of the materials. The vertical lines and irregular color blotches evoke natural elements, such as an abstract forest or the reflection of light on water, but filtered through a modern, almost metallic sensibility.
