internal energy and movement in the power of space and the mysteries of the universe
"DARK SUN"
An interpretation of the solar image, executed in rich black. Its rounded radial shapes create a sense of inner energy and movement, evoking the power of the cosmos and the mysteries of the universe. It invites the viewer to reflect on hidden sources of energy, endless movement, and mystery.
Conceptual narrative:
"Dark Sun" is a monumental, high-relief circular sculpture (tondo) that reinterprets solar energy through the lens of dramatic, tactile minimalism. The composition features an explosive radial pattern of deeply carved ridges radiating from a tranquil central core, beautifully simulating solar flares, cosmic gravity waves, or fossilized plant structure. By limiting the color palette to stark, light-absorbing matte black, the sculpture becomes an enigmatic monolith, completely dependent on its surroundings. This commanding, avant-garde work of art brings an atmosphere of powerful mystery, architectural gravity, and rugged Brutalist luxury to high-end contemporary spaces.
Visual and Sculptural Impact:
The artwork boasts a substantial overall thickness of 7 cm (2.8 in), with multi-layered hand-carved incisions and ridges ranging from 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) in depth. Its circular form softens the rigid boundaries of contemporary interiors. Finished in a velvety, ultra-matte black, the surface actively interacts with the surrounding light. Instead of harsh reflections, hundreds of fine hand-carved channels create endless micro-shadows and soft gray gradients, giving the sculpture a vibrant appearance, dynamically shifting its presence as natural daylight moves throughout the room throughout the day.
Technique and Craftsmanship:
Meticulously handcrafted through an intensive, highly skilled, multi-week sculpting process. The piece is crafted on a durable, round, artistic wooden wheel. The sculpture features an internal, dotted, reinforced structure, guaranteeing absolute structural strength and preventing deformation under a 10 kg weight. The complex radial relief is created using high-quality polymer compounds, followed by precise, continuous hand carving and hand finishing to engrave each individual beam and wave. The piece is then coated with high-strength cement and structural plaster mixtures, painted with deep black water-soluble pigments, and finished with a high-quality water-soluble protective acrylic varnish for absolute durability and UV resistance.
