Maria Ruisi presents Gold Black Explosion, an original mixed‑media abstract painting on museum‑quality canvas 50 × 50 cm, hand-signed, reinterpreted in 2026 from a 2020 work, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
Gold Black Explosion is an original contemporary abstract artwork by artist Maria Ruisi (Riga 1983), created in 2020 and reinterpreted by the artist in 2026. A subtle intervention enriched the surface with new textures, delicate reliefs, and precisely applied gold touches. This evolution brings depth, light, and presence to the composition. The mixed techniques used reinforce the material and ensure the work’s stability over time. Every detail has been conceived to offer a durable piece, meant to endure through the years while preserving its artistic energy. This unique creation is presented on museum-grade canvas 50 × 50 cm, mounted on a black American wooden frame with a depth of about 5 cm, offering an elegant and professional presence worthy of contemporary art galleries and private collections. The work is delivered ready to hang immediately thanks to a complete hanging system provided with all necessary accessories. Worldwide delivery is offered, and the work is protected in reinforced professional packaging to ensure maximum protection during transport.
The composition stands out for a spectacular contrast between a deep black and a luminous golden matter that runs through the surface like an energy explosion. Flashes of light and golden pigments seem to emanate from the center of the canvas, creating a powerful movement that evokes both a cosmic collision, a birth of a star, or a release of energy in space. The contrast between the dark depth and the golden intensity creates a strong visual tension, giving the work a dimension that is simultaneously minimalist and monumental despite its square format.
The surface presents a rich and expressive texture achieved through meticulous artisanal work using high-quality artist pigments and European materials selected for their chromatic depth and durability. The material is worked to create a subtle relief that reinforces the sculptural dimension of the composition. A professional protective finish ensures color stability and long-term preservation of the work.
Since 2018, Maria Ruisi has been developing an artistic research around matter, light, and contemporary minimalism. Her work explores the invisible forces of nature and the universe, translating these tensions into a powerful and pared-down visual language. In Black Gold Explosion, the golden matter becomes a metaphor for energy, transformation, and creation, like a light emerging from darkness.
Each artwork by the artist is crafted with careful artisanal work and particular attention to textures, pigments, and visual balance. This creation is a unique and original piece designed to harmoniously integrate into a contemporary interior, a modern architectural space, or a collection of minimalist abstract art.
The work is signed by the artist and accompanied by an official certificate of authenticity mentioning the title, year of creation, dimensions, and technical characteristics of the piece. With its spectacular aesthetics, strong contrast, and timeless elegance, Black Gold Explosion constitutes a powerful art piece intended for lovers of contemporary art, collectors, and design enthusiasts seeking an expressive and refined abstract work for interior spaces.
About the artist
Maria Ruisi, born in Riga in 1983, is a doctor, researcher, and artist whose work is part of a deep and ongoing exploration of texture and matter from an early age. Very early on, she developed a unique sensitivity to surfaces, structures, and the silent language of matter.
An engineer by training and specialized in interior decoration, she builds an artistic vision at the crossroads of science, space, and emotion. Her work is not limited to the visual aspect: it is sensory, tactile, and immersive. Each creation is the result of years of research, intuition, and refinement.
Her artistic approach rests on a constant objective: to explore and master a wide range of techniques, including the most complex, while sublimating them through a contemporary, elegant, and controlled aesthetics. She continually pushes the boundaries between art, design, and innovation.
Maria Ruisi’s works are meant to endure through time. Each piece is conceived with sustainability, transmission, and heritage in mind. Her vision is deeply historical: to create works that stand the test of time, that leave a mark, and that will be passed down to future generations.
Her work sits at the border between rigor and freedom, where technique becomes emotion and matter becomes memory.
Artwork created directly in the artist’s studio, presented solo. This creation naturally fits into a contemporary approach and may be included in Inspirez-moi selections, Best, live from the studio, Solo Shows and Current Trends: Rising Artists.
