"FORGOTTEN"
MATERIALS:
plaster, acrylic, varnish, silver leaf, epoxy
plaster, acrylic, varnish, silver leaf, epoxy
The forms resemble living or extraterrestrial organic structures, elongated and fractured, creating a sense of alien, mysterious life forms or artifacts. This style is excellent for expressing a sense of the alien, mysterious, or distant era, hidden in lost civilizations.

"FORGOTTEN"
The bas-relief, covered in worn silver leaf and a faded patina, resembles an alien artifact or an ancient altar of oblivion. Its shape — a symbol of the endless circle of existence with a vanished segment — embodies the cyclical nature of life, lost knowledge, or vanished civilizations. Biomorphic lines, reminiscent of alien constellations or extraterrestrial structures, create a sense of connection with the extraterrestrial, hidden in the depths of time and space.
The black, shiny epoxy resin within the cells, like liquid mercury, imbues the work with mystery and a sense of otherworldly energy.
This work poses a philosophical question about perdido meaning, memory, and the inevitable losses along the path of civilizations.

Conceptual narrative:
"FORGOTTEN" is a monumental, non-geometric sculpture in high relief, executed as an open tondo, reminiscent of an ancient artifact, a sacred totem, or a fossilized organic structure lost in time. The composition is distinguished by a powerful silhouette, an open ring, dynamically interacting with the wall behind. A complex radial network of hand-carved cellular formations represents layers of memory and history fading into oblivion. This commanding, avant-garde work of art brings an atmosphere of raw, brutalist luxury, archaeological mysticism, and refined drama to high-end contemporary spaces.
Visual and Sculptural Impact:
The artwork has a substantial overall thickness of 7 cm (2.8 in), with hand-carved incisions ranging from 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) deep, creating a deep, three-dimensional presence on the wall. The main ridges are accented with metallic silver pigments that capture diffused light, highlighting the rough, stone texture. In a brilliant artistic combination, the low-lying crater valleys are filled with high-quality, deep black, glossy resin. This creates an exquisite "wet look" effect, making the recesses appear to be filled with liquid obsidian or dark water trapped within the ancient structure, changing their visual rhythm under different lighting angles throughout the day.
Technique and Craftsmanship:
Meticulously handcrafted through an intensive, highly skilled, multi-week sculpting process. The plywood base is custom-made. The sculpture features internal point reinforcement, specifically designed around a complex open ring cutout, guaranteeing absolute structural strength under a 7 kg weight. The intricate, bionic relief is created using high-quality polymer compounds, followed by precise, continuous hand carving and hand molding to achieve detailed, porous cells. The piece is then coated with high-strength cement and plaster mixtures, textured, painted with water-soluble pigments in deep black and silver, and selectively coated with museum resin to create a black water effect. Finished with acrylic varnish for an archival, UV-protected finish.
