Maria Ruisi’s unique 2024 work *Golden Moss* is a hand-signed sculptural acrylic mixed-media relief with artistic pigments.
Description from the seller
Maria Ruisi — Golden Moss, 2024
Golden Moss is a miniature sculptural painting in which crimson and burgundy formations rise above a finely textured yellow-green ground. Folded contours, irregular openings and projecting edges suggest fragments of bark, leaves or an imagined mineral landscape. Dark green passages deepen the composition, while gold-toned highlights catch selected ridges.
The work’s intimate scale invites close observation. Seen from the front, the relief forms an intricate arrangement of colour and silhouette. From an angle, the spaces beneath and between the raised elements become more apparent. Side lighting strengthens their shadows, while softer light reveals the granular ground and subtle transitions between green, red and gold.
Maria Ruisi’s practice centres on the relationship between colour, material and sculptural form. In Golden Moss, she concentrates these interests into a small composition with a distinctly physical presence. The organic shapes remain open to interpretation, allowing the viewer to discover botanical or geological associations within the surface.
The included black US Box frame gives the relief a defined setting, surrounding the coloured forms with a dark border that draws attention to their edges and depth.
