The artwork
*Kintsugi Eclipse* is an original abstract painting by Mediterranean artist and researcher Inès Rouissi, created as part of her *Kintsugi Collection*.
The collection is inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art and philosophy of repairing broken objects with gold. Instead of concealing fractures, kintsugi illuminates them, transforming every trace of rupture into a visible and precious part of the object’s history.
At the centre of this composition, a fractured sphere appears suspended in a field of intense black, as though captured during a silent cosmic eclipse.
One side is dominated by cool grey and shadow, while the other comes alive through deep teal currents, fluid movement and radiant gold pigment. Shimmering golden veins travel across the sphere, reconnecting its fragmented sections and transforming apparent rupture into strength and unity.
The cracks are not presented as flaws. They form the essential architecture of the artwork and become its principal source of light. Gold does not simply decorate the composition—it reveals the journey of something broken, repaired and made more precious through transformation.
Sweeping teal ribbons move through the central form like water, wind or ocean currents. They introduce quiet movement into an otherwise still and planetary composition.
The contrast between the pure black background and the luminous sphere creates a strong perception of depth. The central form appears to float beyond the physical surface of the canvas, giving the artwork an immersive and almost celestial presence.
From a distance, the viewer first perceives the monumental simplicity of the sphere. At close range, the painting reveals subtle transitions between grey, teal, black and gold, together with layered brushwork and an intricate network of fractures.
The eclipse becomes a metaphor for periods of darkness that temporarily conceal—but never destroy—inner light. The work speaks about resilience, healing and the ability to rebuild oneself without erasing the past.
Entirely created by hand using acrylic and gold pigment on canvas, *Kintsugi Eclipse* is a unique original artwork. It is not a print, edition or reproduction.
About Inès Rouissi
Inès Rouissi, born on 25 January 1977, is a Mediterranean artist and artistic researcher whose distinctive practice develops at the intersection of material, light, structure and spatial perception.
From an early age, she explored the relationships between interior and exterior environments, developing both an instinctive and analytical understanding of volumes, textures and atmospheres.
Her work is driven by continuous research. Each creation becomes a living study of the way light interacts with matter, how structure influences perception and how an artwork transforms according to its environment.
Through a practice that is both intuitive and methodical, she creates compositions in which balance, fluidity and visual coherence remain central.
Her artistic language is deeply influenced by Mediterranean landscapes and their sensory richness: changing light, deep water, mineral surfaces, open horizons and the dialogue between shadow and luminous colour.
Within the *Kintsugi Collection*, this Mediterranean sensitivity meets the Japanese philosophy of visible repair. Gold becomes a symbol of transformation, while fractures become pathways through which light can enter.
