AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Umbral arises from a salvaged section of a centuries-old olive tree, transformed using the Japanese technique Yakisugi (Shou Sugi Ban). The fire is not used solely to char the surface, but as a drawing tool: it reveals the grain, intensifies the tree’s memory, and turns each growth ring into part of the work’s visual language.
After the controlled burning process, the wood is carved, planed, and finished by hand, respecting its natural shape, its cracks, and the void that time has carved inside. That hollow is not hidden; it becomes the true heart of the piece.
Suspended within a classic frame treated in an intense fuchsia tone, the work establishes a dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity. The frame ceases to contain an image and begins to frame a space, allowing nature to cross its boundaries and turn the void into a sculptural element.
Each grain, each burn mark, and every crack are irreproducible, making this a unique piece where time, fire, and matter meet.
