Description from the seller

SAMIA KERKENI — GOLDEN MATRIX, 2023

Original sculptural abstract painting — Unique work 1/1

Golden Matrix is an original sculptural abstract painting by Samia Kerkeni, created through multiple layers of acrylic and luminous gold pigments on 100% cotton canvas.

Across its generous 90 × 60 cm format, the artist constructs a rhythmic constellation of individually worked geometric forms. White, ivory, champagne, pale gold, blush and deeper mineral accents emerge through a richly textured surface, creating a sophisticated dialogue between geometry, matter and light.

The composition reveals two different experiences. From a distance, its repeated forms create a structured, almost meditative rhythm. At closer range, the painting reveals its true material character: sculpted reliefs, irregular ridges, accumulated layers and subtle traces of the artist's hand.

Light plays an essential role in the work. The gold pigments respond naturally to changes in illumination, while the relief creates delicate shadows across the surface. As the viewing angle changes, different details, depths and tonal variations become visible.

This relationship between controlled geometry and organic imperfection gives Golden Matrix its distinctive identity. No two textured elements are exactly alike.

THE ARTIST

Samia Kerkeni (b. 1980) develops a contemporary abstract practice centred on matter, colour, movement and the transformation of the painted surface.

Her work explores the expressive potential of texture and layering, allowing pigments, relief and light to become active elements of the composition. Rather than treating texture as decoration, Kerkeni uses material itself as part of the visual language of the artwork.

Her paintings combine technical experimentation with an intuitive approach to composition, producing surfaces that invite both distant contemplation and close observation.

Samia Kerkeni is presented internationally by Abstract Art Gallery, Riga, Latvia.
