"DEPTH OF ILLUSION"
Conceptual narrative:

This monumental square sculpture in high relief is a captivating exploration of geological force, texture, and light. The artwork mimics a dark, ancient landscape or topographic map, where time has carved deep concentric ridges into obsidian-black matter. A vibrant, cracked vein of molten gold dramatically crosses the canvas, symbolizing light shining through the darkness and the hidden wealth found in the depths of space. This impressive artwork brings an atmosphere of raw, brutalist luxury and refined contemporary elegance to upscale contemporary spaces.

Visual and Sculptural Impact:

The artwork has a significant depth of 7 cm (2.8 in), transforming a flat wall into a living, tactile topography. Ultra-matte, velvety black waves absorb the surrounding light, casting soft, textured shadows. In stark, radiant contrast, the central textured fracture is covered in high-quality gold foil (talé) and sealed with a glossy, odorless, hypoallergenic resin. This special technique creates a mesmerizing "wet sheen" effect, enhancing the metallic luster and giving the gold veining captivating visual depth that dynamically responds to changing light throughout the day.

Technique and Craftsmanship:

Handcrafted in Barcelona, ​​Spain, through a meticulous, multi-week sculpting process. The base is a durable plywood board. The sculpture features an internal armored and reinforced structure to ensure complete structural integrity. The complex organic volume is created using advanced polymer compounds, followed by precise hand carving and hand cutting to achieve undulating concentric textures. The panel is then coated with high-strength cement-gypsum mixtures, finished with water-based matte acrylic paints, and sealed with a high-quality protective system for maximum durability and UV resistance.
