"LIGHT WITHIN"
This work is about inner strength and infinity. Lines and shapes, like a swirling wave, invite one to look within and discover the light hidden within. The contrast of black and gold symbolizes the harmony of darkness and light, eternal movement, and the source of energy from which inspiration is born.
Conceptual narrative:

This monumental, high-relief, circular sculpture is a captivating exploration of cosmic contrast and fluid energy. Formed as a perfect tondo, the work represents a state of transformation, where raw, obsidian-black matter splits, revealing veins of molten liquid gold. Sweeping, biomorphic waves evoke the power of volcanic flows or tectonic shifts. This powerful artwork is designed to command attention, bringing an unparalleled sense of dramatic luxury, mystery, and sophisticated contemporary elegance to premium spaces.

Visual and Sculptural Impact:

The artwork boasts an exceptional and rare depth of 20 cm (7.9 in). This extraordinary volume creates a fully three-dimensional presence on the wall. Velvety, matte black waves absorb light, casting dense, architectural shadows. In stark, mesmerizing contrast, textured gold streams are hand-painted with high-quality metallic foil (talé) and sealed with a thick layer of glossy, odorless, hypoallergenic resin. This creates a captivating "wet look" effect, giving the gold the illusion of fluid depth and an intense, glassy sheen that dynamically reflects light from any angle.

Technique and Craftsmanship:

Meticulously handcrafted through an intensive, highly skilled sculpting process that takes several weeks. The base is a specially designed, durable round plywood board, internally dotted to safely support a substantial 15 kg weight. The complex topographical volume is sculpted using high-quality polymer compounds, followed by precise hand carving, hand cutting, and sculpting to define expressive ridges and deep valleys. The piece is then coated with high-strength cement and plaster mixtures and finished with matte water-based acrylic pigments. Gilding is applied with metallic gold foil. The gilded areas are coated with high-quality resin. The black parts are coated with water-based varnish for complete UV protection and durability.
