Description from the seller
- Oil on panel.
- When the first crack of light rips through the bedroom’s semi-darkness, it awakens not a simple contour of skin, but an islanded topography of Parian marble that slowly emerges from the shadows. The sun passes through the glass like a brush of pale gold and seeks the gentle curve of your shoulder blades, revealing that unique diaphanous alabaster that seems to guard light trapped within its own interior. As dawn advances, the soft groove of your spine takes shape as a serene valley between two chalk-and-ivory ridges, where blue-veined currents run like subterranean rivers beneath a stone that defies winter with its warm and unexpected texture.
- Unframed image dimensions: 50 x 30 cm / 56 x 36 cm with exclusive, custom-made frame.
