AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This work is a powerful visual meditation on cosmic geometry and earthly matter. The composition serves as a symbolic threshold: a dense dark circular vortex dominates the sky, framing a warm, bright core like a sun that radiates esoteric and hermetic energy. Below, a fragmented, tangible landscape, made with cork and multilayer pigments, evokes primordial lands and ancient architectures. Two geometric matrices at the base — one marked by a vibrant yellow/blue solar emblem, the other by a deep red alchemical point — create a deep psychological tension, guiding the viewer's subconscious on a journey of balance and discovery. A rare opportunity to acquire a high-level, sophisticated contemporary artwork with great impact. Presented in a professional wooden box frame that emphasizes the artwork's three-dimensional depth. The work perfectly reflects the stylistic grammar, material choices, and geometric philosophy of Roberto Crippa's late polymaterial period. A photocopy of the authenticity certificate prepared by his son, with the related archival number, is attached. The lot will be properly packaged and shipped with contracted couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not available. Dimensions without frame: 33 x 24 cm
