Description from the seller
Inès Rouissi — Emerald Alchemy — 2024
Unique Sculptural Mixed-Media Painting — 50 × 50 cm
Emerald Alchemy is a unique original work by contemporary artist Inès Rouissi, bringing together the fluid movement of acrylic pouring and the physical presence of sculptural relief.
Entirely created by hand, the composition is built through multiple successive layers of acrylic, artistic pigments, mixed media and hand-applied 3D gold relief. Emerald green, turquoise, deep teal, luminous white and metallic gold flow across the canvas, creating an organic landscape in constant visual transformation.
What first appears fluid and spontaneous reveals remarkable physical complexity at closer range. Raised golden contours, textured passages, dimensional deposits and glossy translucent areas emerge from the surface, giving the painting a depth that cannot be fully captured in photographs.
A work transformed by light
Light is an integral part of Emerald Alchemy.
The metallic pigments and three-dimensional relief interact with natural and artificial light, changing subtly according to the viewing angle. Gold can move from a soft mineral glow to a much stronger reflection, while the turquoise and emerald passages reveal different levels of transparency and depth.
The result is an artwork that offers a different visual experience throughout the day.
Inès Rouissi develops a research-oriented approach to contemporary abstraction, exploring the relationship between matter, structure, colour, light and spatial perception. In Emerald Alchemy, controlled pouring meets deliberately constructed relief, positioning the work at the intersection of painting and sculptural abstraction.

Optional US Box / Floating Frame
The artwork is offered unframed.
After the auction, the collector may contact Abstract Art Gallery, Riga exclusively through the Catawiki messaging system to request an optional US Box / floating frame, subject to availability.
Available finishes can be discussed with the collector according to the desired presentation and interior.
The optional frame is not included in the auction price. Any additional framing cost will be clearly communicated and must be approved by the collector before preparation.
Premium flat shipping — never rolled
Because of the multilayer construction and delicate three-dimensional relief, this artwork will never be rolled or folded for transportation.
It will be shipped completely flat.
The painted surface will first be carefully isolated with soft protective glassine/silk-type paper suitable for textured artworks. It will then be secured between rigid XPS protection panels, with an additional rigid acrylic/Plexiglas protective layer where appropriate, before being placed inside reinforced external packaging.
This packaging method is specifically selected to minimize pressure, friction, impact and movement against the sculptural surface during international transportation.
The artwork is accompanied by its Certificate of Authenticity and benefits from the lifetime after-sales guarantee of Abstract Art Gallery, Riga, providing long-term assistance regarding conservation, maintenance and presentation of the artwork.
A unique work of matter, movement and light
Emerald Alchemy is more than a composition of turquoise and gold.
It is an exploration of matter in transformation — a place where liquid movement becomes structure, pigment becomes relief and light becomes an active part of the artwork.
Entirely handmade and impossible to reproduce identically, this unique 1/1 original reveals new details as the viewer moves around it, making its physical presence considerably richer than photography alone can convey.
