AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The little gears in the system that keep the world running...
The Earth is already old, very old; a copper patina has covered it. Sometimes it appears in one good light, sometimes in another. And it turns anew every day. Like a machine — the gears beneath the surface keep the world-machine running.
Material: acrylic, filler plaster, crackle medium, coarse sand, Plexiglas, chrome spray, copper patina on Plexiglas
About the artist
Born in 1980 and raised in Gmunden/Upper Austria. Graduate of the Advertising Academy & the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Not the traditional artistic career, but the interest in art and painting was always the driving force and a solid financial backbone in the early student years. After 10 years in marketing (concepts, illustration, art direction), the decision followed to turn the hobby of art into the profession/vocation of a freelance artist.
