"THE PULSE OF THE UNIVERSE"
A visual symphony of life and inner energy. At the center of the work is a symbolic image of a grain or an eye, personifying the soul and its source. Around it, black ribs and golden biomorphic threads swirl, symbolizing the dynamics of development, interconnectedness, and eternal transformation. The painting gazes intently at the outside world, at the quiet and endless movements toward harmony and enlightenment.
Conceptual narrative:

"Pulse of the Universe" is a monumental, high-relief circular sculpture (tondo) that conveys the raw, kinetic heartbeat of cosmic creation. The composition is divided into two masterfully balanced forces: a deep, sweeping vortex of matte black waves spiraling toward a golden core, and a complex organic network of cracked, gilded cells erupting through dark matter. This bionic latticework beautifully mimics biological pathways, cellular structures, or solar flares spreading through deep space. This powerful, avant-garde work of art serves as a radiant focal point, bringing an atmosphere of dramatic opulence, high-contrast mysticism, and refined contemporary sophistication to upscale contemporary interiors.

Visual and Sculptural Impact:

The artwork boasts a substantial overall thickness of 7 cm (2.8 in), with multi-layered incised carvings and reliefs ranging from 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) in depth. The main undulating lines are rendered in an ultra-matte, light-absorbing black, highlighting the structural form and casting dense architectural shadows. In a captivating artistic juxtaposition, the raised organic mesh and central feature are hand-painted with high-quality gold foil (potale). Low-lying valleys within the gold mesh are filled with high-quality, odorless, and hypoallergenic glossy resin, creating a mesmerizing "wet sheen" effect that enhances the metallic luster and imparts intense visual depth to the veins of liquid gold, dynamically responding to changing light throughout the day.

Technique and Craftsmanship:

Meticulously handcrafted through an intensive, highly disciplined, multi-week sculpting process. The base is constructed on a durable round plywood board. The sculpture features an internal, dotted, reinforced structure, guaranteeing absolute structural strength and preventing deformation under a 10 kg weight. The complex, fluid topography is created using high-quality polymer compounds, followed by precise, continuous hand carving, hand molding, and sculpting to achieve seamless spiral ridges and cellular perforations. The piece is then coated with high-strength cement and structural plaster mixtures, painted with deep black water-soluble pigments, gold plated, and selectively coated with museum resin for an archival, UV-protected finish.
